But the point is not all web sites are web applications. Web site display content but a web application does something. Actually, it depends on business function, user interactions.

Some web applications are Ebay, Paypal, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Flickr, eHarmony, eTrade, Wikipedia and also bank offering online banking has a component of web application on its site. A site where one can create an account, log-in and conduct some actual business it’s a web application.

Most of the people think that a website is for everything details. But, this is not a wrong idea. Everything we found through a internet that belongs to a website. Two main basic differences between website & web applications are:

    

                                A website is informational.
