This is off-topic, but I see in some legal documents the phrase "internet website" as in "The comment summary is also available on our Internet website at <http://www.sec.gov/rules/extra/s71002commsumm.htm>. http://www.sec.gov/rules/extra/s71002commsumm.htm>. http://www.sec.gov/rules/final/ia-2091.htm http://www.sec.gov/rules/final/ia-2091.htm Are there any other kinds of websites that they need to refer to their site as "internet website?"

Intranet websites.

  Is there a need to emphasize that the website referred to is an "internet" website and not an "intranet" website? Should Yahoo! say "visit our internet website at yahoo.com?" Or even the least sophisticated user knows that yahoo.com is an "internet" website? Wikipedia does not even list "internet" website as "type of website." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website#Types_of_websites http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website#Types_of_websites

    It's not a "type of website", but instead "location of website", identifying the network that the website lives on. Let's say there's an intranet, internet and extranet available. Identifying the specific network that a resource lives on is important to distinguish if it's publicly accessible and what handling procedures are used when working with it as dictated by the policies of the particular network it resides on.

      This is a bigger deal in the government, especially the DoD, where there might be an Internet website, a NIPRnet website, a SIPRnet website, a JWICS website, etc. So, sometimes it's appropriate - for most companies, probably redundant.

Legal documents are always overly verbose. You should see what most contracts describe a fax or email as : something like 'written electronic communication to a specified recipient, carried over a public network of limited security'
