sites

A site is a defined location used for a particular purpose. In geography and urban planning, the term describes the exact place where a feature exists or where development is proposed. A construction site is the area of land set aside for building activities, often bounded and inspected for safety, access, utilities, and environmental impact.

In archaeology and cultural heritage, a site is a place where evidence of past human activity is found. Archaeological sites are identified through surveys and excavations, with material remains, features, and stratigraphy used to interpret chronology and behavior. Cultural and historic sites are protected for their significance, education, and tourism. Natural sites, such as wetlands or geological formations, are designated for conservation and study.

In information technology, a site or website is a collection of related web pages under a common domain or address. The term site is commonly used in everyday language and by professionals in web development, hosting, and search engine optimization. While the word site remains widely understood, website is increasingly used to emphasize the public-facing nature of the resource, which may be static or dynamic and supported by servers, databases, and content management systems.
