It -also- depends on the language.  :-)
In "new" german (Neudeutsch) as the recent anglo-saxon (USA) influence of
our language is being called, the word "Website" (written together) would
most certainly be correct.
After all we have concatenated or composed word as an integral part of our
(german) language.
Also many use the germanized "Webseite".

So if you search for "Website" on an search engine probably lot of german
sites will pop up. And there are lots of german sites on the 'net nowadays.

Just a thought!
