A website (or simply a "site") is the name we give to a set of web pages grouped under a single name. That is, there are one or more pages, and these pages belong to a website that's called something. For example, pages on Facebook, the search page on Google, an article on Wikipedia, a video on YouTube, a post on Twitter, and so on.
Generally, the name of a website is related to its domain name, which is part of the URL needed to access the site. In Wikipedia's case, the domain name is wikipedia.org, for Google, the domain name is google.com. Although uncommon nowadays, there are also cases of websites whose names are merely a directory inside another site. For example, http://br.geocities.com/pokemonbestbr2001/redblue.html is a web page about Pokémon Red and Blue, belonging to the website Pokémon Best BR 2001. This website would have been hosted in the famous web hosting service Geocities, which shut down in 2009. In this case, we'd have a website inside another website. A similar modern service is Neocities, which hosts a website in a subdomain instead, e.g. shishka.neocities.org.
