What's a Site?

A web site contains a collection of documents and files available from the same base location on the world wide web. That base location is the web site, and in Liquid Site it is defined by four parameters - the protocol (http or https), the host name, the port number, and the base path.

• Protocol
  
• Host Name
  
• Port Number
  
• Base Path
  

As an example, if the URL for one site is http://www.liquidsite.org/, then https://www.liquidsite.org/ would define another site as another protocol is used.
