Place the title in quotation marks if it's a short work (such as an article) or italicize it if it's a longer work (e.g. plays, books, television shows, entire Web sites) and provide a page number if it is available.
To determine whether to style a work on a website in italics or quotation marks, you must consider the work’s length, genre, and context. Long works and works that are self-contained and independent are generally styled in italics.
In MLA style, you should use the title of a website as it appears on the site and italicize it as you would any independent work. Do not use the web address as the title unless the address and the title are identical.
