Website
A website, occasionally written as web site, and sometimes contextually shortened to just site, is the set of one or more web pages published under a common domain name, served from a web server. They are typically dedicated to a particular topic or purpose, such as news, education, commerce, entertainment, or social media, and are usually known and referred to by a common name; often that of their respective owning organisational brand or some portion of their domain name. Viewing a website is typically done with a web browser, with hyperlinking between web pages guiding navigation, which often starts with a home page.[1]
Static website
A static website is one that has Web pages stored on the server in the format that is sent to a client Web browser. It is primarily coded in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML); Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used to control appearance beyond basic HTML. Images are commonly used to create the desired appearance and as part of the main content.[1]
Dynamic website
A dynamic website is one that changes or customizes itself frequently and automatically. Server-side dynamic pages are generated "on the fly" by computer code that produces the HTML (CSS are responsible for appearance and thus, are static files). There are a wide range of software systems, such as CGI, Java Servlets and Java Server Pages (JSP), Active Server Pages and ColdFusion (CFML) that are available to generate dynamic Web systems and dynamic sites.[1]
Multimedia and interactive content
Early websites had only text, and soon after, images. Web browser plug-ins were then used to add audio, video, and interactivity (such as for a rich Web application that mirrors the complexity of a desktop application like a word processor). Examples of such plug-ins are Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Shockwave Player, and Java SE.[1]
Types
Websites can be divided into two broad categories—static and interactive. Interactive sites are part of the Web 2.0 community of sites and allow for interactivity between the site owner and site visitors or users. Static sites serve or capture information but do not allow engagement with the audience or users directly.[1]

History of Website
Background
The World Wide Web (WWW) was created in 1989 by the British CERN computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee. On 30 April 1993, CERN announced that the World Wide Web would be free to use for anyone, contributing to the immense growth of the Web. Before the introduction of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), other protocols such as File Transfer Protocol and the gopher protocol were used to retrieve individual files from a server.[1]
History
While "web site" was the original spelling (sometimes capitalized "Web site", since "Web" is a proper noun when referring to the World Wide Web), this variant has become rarely used, and "website" has become the standard spelling. All major style guides, such as The Chicago Manual of Style and the AP Stylebook, have reflected this change.[1]

Motherless (website)
Motherless was a pornographic image and video-sharing website. The site was taken down several times starting May 2026 and has been offline since July 2026 due to the Dutch police's seizure of the hosting server.[6]
Ownership
The website domain name was first purchased in 2005. The website and company were founded in 2008 by Joshua G. Lange in New York City.[6]
Legal cases
In July 2011, Pink Visual filed suit against Motherless, alleging copyright infringement and unfair competition regarding record keeping requirements. Motherless won the case under the safe harbor provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).[6]
