A website (also called a website/ website / internet ) is a collection of web pages, that is, hypertext documents, generally accessible via the HTTP protocol on the internet.

The collection of all existing public websites makes up the World Wide Web.

The pages on a website are organized from a URL , or site, where the main page is located, and generally reside in the same directory on a server. The pages are organized within the site in a hierarchy observable in the URL, although the hyperlinks between them control how the reader perceives the overall structure, a way that may have little to do with the hierarchical structure of the site's files.
