Harold, One of the nice things about languages is that they evolve and they change with use. Personally, I use both web site and website as they are both understandable and communicate the reality. Words point toward the "thing," they are not the thing-in-itself. With usage, the users of the language will finally define the spelling, but that may take a few years I'll bet. Just as we are still in the process of defining just what the "web" is and is not. I would wager, though, when it shakes out that "website" will win as it writes easier.
