online portal

Web access point

An online portal is a website that serves as a gateway to other content or services, aggregating information in one place.

Portals typically offer email, news, search, and personalized features: Yahoo was the dominant online portal of the early internet.

The term has an old-fashioned ring, largely replaced by more specific words like platform or site.
