### The Basics
Is it [**EEP!** *(in response to the site's content)*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onomatopoeia), or **end-to-end protocol**, or something else entirely different?
While the original definition of eepsite has been lost with time, its use-case remains: an eepsite is a website or service that is hosted within (and only accessible by) the @I2P network.
### In-depth Information
Alternate names include:
1. *Hidden Service*
- because the site/service is *hidden* within the @I2P network and can only be visited within the network
2. *Garlic Site*
- because the website utilizes @I2P's @garlic-routing technology as a means of communicating with a client
- because the service is hosted as a website and not any other type of service
3. *Garlic Service*
- because the service utilizes @I2P's @garlic-routing technology as a means of communicating with a client
- because the service is specific to services like IRC, email, or a Monero peer (but may also include websites)
