Web page versus website

A website is like a house. The home page is the front door.

A big website like MySpace is like a mall. Your MySpace page is like a little shop in the mall.

But your MySpace page isn't a website. It's a web page. MySpace itself is the site, and you have a page on MySpace.

A website is myhouse.com. A web page is myhouse.com/green.html. That's a page (green.html) on the larger site (myhouse.com).

I'd say more, but I think that about covers it. I shall now forage for food.
