Portal

A portal is a doorway, gate, or other entrance, especially one that is large or imposing. In architecture, a portal often refers to the entrance of a building or a significant opening in a wall. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe a means of access or a connection between different realms or systems. In computing, a portal is a web-based application that provides a single point of access to various information, applications, and services. The Hebrew translation for "portal" is שער (sha'ar), which also means "gate" or "doorway." In Spanish, it is translated as portal, and in French, it is portail. In the context of the internet, portals often serve as a starting point for users to navigate to different resources and services, such as email, news, and search engines. Portals can be customized to provide personalized content and access based on user preferences and roles.
