portal
A website that aims to be an entry point
to the web, typically offering a search engine
and/or links to useful pages, and possibly news or other
services. These services are usually provided for free in the
hope that users will make the site their default home page
or at least visit it often. Popular examples are Yahoo and
MSN. Most portals on the Internet exist to generate
advertising income for their owners, others may be focused on
a specific group of users and may be part of an intranet or
extranet. Some may just concentrate on one particular
subject, say technology or medicine, and are known as a
vertical portals.
