AT website or ON website?
I have a British English vs. American English question:
In AE, I would write Find more information at www.website.com
In BE, should it be at www.website.com or on www.website.com ?
Thanks!

I'm a British English speaker and in your sentence I prefer "at". "on" doesn't seem exactly wrong, just inferior. For some reason, "on" seems better to me when the name is a "pure" brand name rather than a literal web address.

For some reason, "on" seems better to me when the name is a "pure" brand name rather than a literal web address. For example: "I found it on YouTube" but "I found it at obscure.url.com".
