As a retired English teacher, I'd like to offer my two cents worth. I agree with Clint that it probably should be spelled website. As to capitalizing it, I assume that the same old rule would apply. If it refers to just any website, it would not be capitalized, but if it is part of the name of a particular website it would then be considered a proper noun and would be capitalized. As an example, building is common noun and is usually not capitalized, but if it is used as a part of the name of a particular building, it is. For instance....Empire State Building. Ann Parker
