Language changes all the time.
Web site is correct, but common usage is website.
Being on the internet, I would say common usage rules as it is what people input in searches.
Hey Dom
“common usage” … excellent way of putting it.
Thanks for that

It simply bothers me see copy looking like thisI agree … Web site may be correct, but in copy it looks totally stooopid!
Why not Web Site, Website or WebSite?Dominique is right … website is the common usage … and looks much better in copy as well.
There’s nothing incorrect about “website”. It’s a relatively new expression because of a relatively new technology. AND it’s the most common usage. (Being a new word does not make a word incorrect.)
(“Homepage” and “online” are also both new words that were originally two words. “Email” is short for electronic mail and was originally “e-mail”.)
