According to GuruNet, my favorite reference program:
USAGE NOTE The transition from World Wide Web site to Web site to website
seems to have progressed as rapidly as the technology itself. The
development of website as a single uncapitalized word mirrors the
development of other technological expressions which have tended to evolve
into unhyphenated forms as they become more familiar. Thus email has
recently been gaining ground over the forms E-mail and e-mail, especially in
texts that are more technologically oriented. Similarly, there has been an
increasing preference for closed forms like homepage, online, and printout.
