'''Websites from the real world''' is an in-universe category.  It refers to those websites which have been mentioned '''within a narrative''', but which '''also exist in the real world''', like [[eBay]] and [[YouTube]].  They can be contrasted with:
{{website cats}}
*[[:category:in-universe websites|in-universe websites]], a real world category which organises those websites '''created by the BBC''', or other copyright holders, to help promote a narrative concept, but which are written from an in-universe perspective.  Historical examples include the UNIT website or the [[Deffry Vale High School]] website.
*[[:category:websites|websites]], an in-universe category about websites that only exist within the [[DWU]], or which exist in a radically-altered way, such as [[search-wise.net]], the search engine depicted in ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]''. 


Note that some sites can be both "websites" and "in-universe websites", because they were shown in a narrative, then launched on the real world internet. [[Who is Doctor Who?]] is such a site, because it was originally in ''Rose'', but then it became the actual [http://whoisdoctorwho.co.uk whoisdoctorwho.co.uk].

Our categories about websites are slightly confusing. Here's a simple guide:

category when used examples
real world websites websites that only exist in the real world and are written primarily from an out-of-universe perspective Doctor Who website, Bad Wolf website.
websites from the real world websites mentioned or seen within a narrative, but which also exist in the real world eBay, YouTube, TARDIS Wiki
tie-in websites websites typically created by the BBC which are written from an in-universe perspective; that is, they treat their fictional subject as if it's a real thing Who is Doctor Who?, U.N.I.T., Cybus
websites and domains websites that only exist within the DWU, or are substantially different from their real world counterpart search-wise.net
