Well it seems very easy I guess : Here are the difference that you want to know - Website : It is that you use everyday to search for anything that you don't know over Internet. It consist of web pages that is written in combination of various languages. Example : http://www.c-sharpcorner.com Web Applications : It is also similar to that of website but here user get interact much more than that of website. You can say web application is a helping robot. Example : Gmail Google Analytics. Web Forms : Web Forms are pages that your users request using their browser. These pages can be written using a combination of HTML client-script server controls and server code. When users request a page it is compiled and executed on the server by the framework and then the framework generates the HTML markup that the browser can render. An ASP.NET Web Forms page presents information to the user in any browser or client device. Source : http://www.asp.net/web-forms/what-is-web-forms This design you design in web form in asp.net . Web API : A web API is an application programming interface (API) for either a web server or a web browser. It is a web development concept usually limited to a web application's client-side (including any web frameworks being used) and thus usually does not include web server or browser implementation . Example : http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/getting-started-with-aspnet-web-api/tutorial-your-first-web-api MVC : Model View Controller is another technology of asp.net by which you can create more enhanced website or web application. Just like we have LINQ 3 Tier  Ajax in similar MVC helps you in creating strong secure reliable website. Practice here : http://www.asp.net/mvc
