hi, I just want to know what is the difference between a portal from a website? can you explain in details? Thanks!
Well, its not big deal, A portal its a multitude of websites within one single domain, sometimes grouped in subdomains For example : an auto portal can have wallpapers subdomain / area, games , classifieds, news, etc
a website is a collection of webpages on a single topic. A web portal is a website that's purpose is to direct you to other websitesm like a link directory or an extensive group of websites. Apple.com is a website, but yahoo.com is a portal. The popularity of the portal decreased in time as search engines became better and more useful.
I think a portal allows user registrations and is often a user community of some sort. Portals are also most likely to offer a plethora of services then a normal website. I hope that answers your question.
@all wow! Thanks to all, i now understand what a portal is! Portal offers more services like yahoo.com. Thanks for explaining it to me! @innovati I like your works on your site!
