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:

  • 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.
  • websites, an in-universe category about websites that only exist within the DWU, such as search-wise.net, the search engine depicted in 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 whoisdoctorwho.co.uk.
