1. One's personal billboard on the World Wide Web. The term ?home page? is
perhaps a bit misleading because home directories and physical homes in RL
are private, but home pages are designed to be very public.
2. By extension, a WWW repository for information and links related to a
project or organization. Compare home box.

home page
1. The top-level entry point web page
relating to an individual or institution, or possibly a
subject area. This often has a URL consisting of just a
hostname, e.g. http://ncsa.uiuc.edu/. All other pages
on a website are usually accessible by following links
from the home page.
2. The web page a user's web browser is configured to load
each time it is started. This will typically default to the
home page (sense 1) of the organisation that produced or
distributed the browser.
