A website is known to be a collection of different web pages that can be available to people who are looking for the right information online. The different web pages will only have one domain name so there is nothing that you should look for anymore.

The web application, on the other hand, is a type of software and program which can be used for different types of web browsers. The web application is something that you will use so that you will be able to create the website that you want. There are different web applications that are available. All you have to do is to search and look for the one that will work well for your needs.

Web application is an application that is installed on work computers. These applications can be used through the Intranet, Internet, or VPN. These applications are often used like resources and often take more processing than other websites because the applications needs to process all data, as well as access it.

A website is a location on the web that acts as a host for information. Websites are able to be accessed through URLs, which are uniform resource locators. between the two, a web application is harder to create than a website. The reason for this is that a web application requires HTML, which stands for Hypertext Markup Language.

The term website refers to a collection of interlinked web pages hosted on the internet, which can be accessed using a particular URL or Uniform Resource Locator. Web application, on the other hand, is a software application that can be accessed via a web browser, most times over a network, but can also be accessed even when it is not connected to a network.

Most times, a web application can be hosted as a separate page on a particular website, and it won't have anything to do with other resources on the website. While there are different kinds of web applications, they will first process the information stored on them from their databases.

To understand this better, common examples of web applications are spreadsheets, Gmail, Yahoo, word processors, file conversion software, etc. Depending on the nature of websites you are creating, some websites can still be created even with HTML code, while web applications are most times created with more advanced programming languages.

Web Application commonly refer to program or application that is installed and work on computers (of any form), they can occur on the Internet or across a local network, Intranet, VPN, etc. When on the Internet, it hosted on a separate page on a website, unlike, Website which is a web-based location that hosts pages of related information. Websites are also accessed through URL (Uniform Resource Locator).

A web application is most times more resource-intensive and needs more processing power than most websites since most websites just show information compare to a web application that needs to process the data it gets as well as access database. A web application is also more difficult to create than a website, with HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) alone a website can be coded but not so with web app which the application creation itself requires more than one language to build, more knowledge in Java, JavaScript, DHTML, Silverlight, PHP, and AJAX might really be needed.
