When citing an entire website, but not an individual webpage, just give the address of the site in the text only; no reference list entry is necessary. For example:
A digital object identifier (DOI) is a unique number/code to identify content and provide a reliable link to its location on the Internet. Unlike a URL, a DOI never changes.
