A '''website''' (also written as a '''web site''') is one or more [[web page]]s and related content that is identified by a common [[domain name]] and published on at least one [[web server]]. Websites are typically dedicated to a particular topic or purpose, such as news, education, commerce, entertainment, or [[social media]]. [[Hyperlink]]ing between web pages guides the navigation of the site, which often starts with a [[home page]]. The [[List of most-visited websites|most-visited]] sites are [[Google Search|Google]], [[YouTube]], and [[Facebook]].<!-- top 3 is enough here, and the only ones in the top 10 that both rankings sources agree on (March 2024) -->
All publicly-accessible websites collectively constitute the [[World Wide Web]]. There are also private websites that can only be accessed on a [[intranet|private network]], such as a company's internal website for its employees. [[User (computing)|Users]] can access websites on a range of devices, including [[desktop computer|desktops]], [[laptop]]s, [[tablet computer|tablets]], and [[smartphone]]s. The [[application software|app]] used on these devices is called a [[web browser]].
