Examples

My friend has made a new website.

You will find the answers on our website.

The website is not working today.

A clean demonstration of what the affix system is for. is a net, -- marks the place where something happens ( school, o kitchen), and is the place on the net. Nobody had to vote on it: the parts existed and speakers assembled them as the web arrived, which is the modern hand-inserted class of word rather than anything in the Fundamento. You will also see retpaĝaro for the same thing, literally a collection of net pages, and both are current.
