Site (disambiguation)

A site is a real fixed physical location where something will or has happened or a place where something is.
Some examples could include places where a building, house, or any other such thing could be located or will/has been located. The noun site describes an area where something is constructed or has occurred, this can be in the past, present or future.
Uses.
It is used very often in building trades to mean the place where a building will go up.
It can also be of use in a gravesite. It is a place where a person will be buried after they die.
The term site also has an example in physical work. The physical workwords onsite and offsite refer to work that must take place on the site, or which can take place somewhere else. For instance, a prefabricated building can be "built offsite" and then "moved onsite".
"Site" is also a common abbreviation in net jargon for "website". In this case no real physical location exists other than the place where the computers are, and one "goes to the site" simply by using a web browser to "go to" that URL. This is a conceptual metaphor. It can be confusing. Someone who uses it is also likely using other jargon. In a website, things that casually aren't available offline are present online.
