Web site
*W* is capitalized because it is a proper noun (actually considered a place)
i think as long as you're consistent, you can get away with either - just pick one and go with it - ALWAYS!

it's apparently proper to write e-mail cause it's electronic mail, but website sure looks better, but is Web a noun cause it's World Wide Web..?
we should get the french to decide about this issue

proper noun? hell no dude....that would be like sayin town is proper. no the NAME of the town is proper much like the NAME of the website. not website itself. ask fucking TYPEX!

i hear ya but i think i had a good ANALogy there. makes no sense that it would be proper.

I work for a newspaper and the AP style guide, issued by the Associated Press says it is "Web site".

Web site
InternetI capitalize Internet (and World Wide Web), because it's a proper noun (the name of a single "place", like Chicago).
Consistency is the important part. Whichever spellings you choose, spelling them consistently will make you appear much more professional.

xrusos ...... World Wide Web is NOT a single place. If it is then please tell me where it is located. I would like to go there.
