online services

Web-based business platforms

Online services are activities, tools, or resources accessed through the internet.

The term emerged in the early days of consumer internet access, when companies like AOL and CompuServe provided bundled packages of email, chat, and content.

Today it encompasses everything from streaming platforms to cloud storage to web-based banking: Most online services require creating an account.
