There are probably many different definitions for
"website", and the one found at www.dictionary.com
is as follows:
Website web·site or Web site (w b s t )
n.
A set of interconnected web pages, usually including a homepage, generally
located on the same server, and prepared and maintained as a collection of
information by a person, group, or organization.
A website usually contains many files, organized into folders and subfolders, in
much the same way as you have files organized into separate folders on your
computer. The "main" page of a website is usually called "index.htm"
or "index.html" or "default.html". When you type a web
address (or domain name) into your browser (i.e. www.logincomtech.com),
your browser will look into the hosting account that the domain name is pointed
to, and look for one of these main file names. If it finds an index.html file in
the website, that will be the file (or page) that gets displayed in the browser
first, and automatically.
The index.html file will typically have a combination of text and images
arranged in such a way that the website designer finds visually appealing. Text
would be embedded right in the WebPages, whereas images would simply be referred
to.... as they would actually be files of their own. The image files may reside
in your website (in your hosting account.... either along side your other web
pages or files, but typically in an "images" folder or directory), or
they may be images located elsewhere on the internet. Some of the text and
images on a WebPages will also be hyper linked to other web pages (i.e. you will
be able to click them, and be taken to another WebPages). It is this combination
of all web pages, image files, and other files you may have in your hosting
account, that make up the complete "website".
To simplify, "websites" typically contain many "web pages"
and "image files".
