A private site is usually run off of personal equipment in a home or a school.
Resources are limited, and the size of the operation generally small scale.
Private sites are usually not affiliated or owned by other sites or companies, and are run through smaller ISPs and webhosters. A Corporate site, on the other hand, is usually run from an office, and are privately funded with a full staff and commercially leased or bought equipment. These sites generally tend to be bigger in size and scope, and have much grander resources, with greater access to studios, conventions, retailers, contacts, etc. Corporate sites tend to use larger, faster ISPs and webhosters, and are often linked up to or are subsidiaries of other companies or web sites. Corporate sites tend to have snazzier graphics, more features and can be a bit more consistent in their news delivery as they have larger staffs to handle a wide variety of chores.
