online, on-line - correct spelling

online, on-line - adjective and adverb

 

Spelled either online or on-line. The single-word spelling is gaining ground.

Here’s a usage note from Dictionary.com.

The transition from World Wide Web site to Web site to website as a single uncapitalized word mirrors the development of other technological expressions which have tended to take unhyphenated forms as they become more familiar. Thus email is gaining ground over the forms E-mail and e-mail, especially in texts that are more technologically oriented. Similarly, there is an increasing preference for closed forms like homepage, online, and printout.
