Hello Vijay Kumar,
A portal is a method by which one can access a number of services.
A website is a unique location which is specified bu a URL.
So, how is a website different from a portal? The answer is as follows:
1. Facilities
A website provides the facility of identifying a user and giving him exclusive services. For example after you login to your profile in ISC you can edit your profile. This is possible with the help of URL in a website.
But a portal does not give such facility.
portal: www.indiastudychannel.com
website: http://www.indiastudychannel.com/Members/ManageAccount.aspx
2. Contents
In a website, only the necessary information is provided. For example, once you log in to your profile, you will see your lobby only.
In a portal, all the information which may be used by a number of users is seen.

Hello Nikhil,
Your answer about portal is right, but I am not agreed with the answer about Website. You have given the hyperlink of a page.
"website: http://www.indiastudychannel.com/Members/ManageAccount.aspx"

hi Vijay
I can explain for you what is a website.
1A website is that is developed for a particular company, organizations, institutions etc. to display the content of that paticular firm .That also may provide mailing services but only to the employees who are working in it.
Examples : www.Kusalava.com or any other websites of educational institutions, universities or any other firm
2websites dont conducts threads ,forums
3 if u take portals google or india studychannel.com they are opened to any one and any one can register and use the services where it is not possible with a website.
4 if u take website of microsoft ,infosys ,satyam etc only members means employees can login with xxx@kusalava.com ,xxx@infosys.com.
5 If there is a search option in the website also it will search only with in the content of the website .
if it is a portal like google links or list a no .of other urls
relevent to ourquery
I think now u question is clarified

Hello Vijay,
As rightly explained by Nalini, a website offers the services such as mailing facilities, search options exclusively to the employees, or members of the website.
I just gave an example giving the URL once you are logged in ISC. This is just an example. Please do not get confused. I just wanted to portray that a website can be the URL of the site when a user logs in using his ID. Thus, when you manage your account in ISC, that is exclusively done for you and your profile. This is possible only in a website and not a portal. So, the URL I gave is a website.
Hope your doubt is clarified.
Regards,
Nikhil Shelke

A web site may be offering a single service but a portal is likely to offer many services.
Examples of portal could be Times of India which offers free services like E-Mail and Job serach and also has a shop which sells every thing online for discount.
Apart from it it has its news paper content publishing services.
A simple web site could be a small company website which just deals with its focussed business and nothing else.
A portal is liekly to have millions of unique visitors per month because of the free services it offers.

There are several responses to this thread. My fellow members tried well to explain, here is the concept which differentiate between a portal and a website.
Website:
Website as the name itself says is a site on web which has collection of related web pages, images, videos and various digital content of the same kind and is accessible via a common URL having the domain name which is referred as IP address of the website. Also a website has at least one server from which its contents are fetch over the internet or intranet.
Websites are categorized into following categories depending on different domains:
Personal website
Commercial website
Government website
Non-profit organization website
Portal:
A web portal is nothing but a links page which provides information from different internet resource in a standard way. Portal is just a way to fetch information from different services. We can categorize various search engine as web sites which offer us services like e-mail,news,information and entertainment. Portals provide access control and procedures for multiple applications and databases. We can have different portals like iGoogle,Yahoo etc.
Hope I have cleared the concept very well.
