An online portal is a webpage (or website) that gives users access to a wide range of information, tools, links, and other resources. These portals were once known as links pages, but they now serve a number of purposes. Online portals are often designed to provide users with a variety of the most commonly requested sorts of information and services. As a result, internet portals have grown more open to personalization and customization, resulting in a variety of portal types. For example, government portals that give vital civic information, private company sites for corporations, and customer portals that allow clients to access aspects of the web service they subscribe to are all examples of portals.
