Webpage, website, web address, and url address is referring to the same thing.

For example: http://www.google.com is a web address and a url address. When you click on it, it takes you to their website. The interface GUI you see when you click on it is the webpage. They are all referencing the same thing.

.com, .net, .org are all different web address extensions.

.com is usually a company site. Major companies use that extension for their web address.

.net is another popular company site, but I noticed that a lot of .net is more for extranet. For example, comcast.com is a company website. When you want to make a webpage through comcast or edit your email settings, they have a comcast.net address for extranet users.

.org is usually for organization purposes like fund raiser or knowledge based sites that are non-profit. Like http://www.redcross.org

Web Page is usually said on any page you can see on the Web.
Web Site is a collection of web pages that are linked to each other and located on the same location.
Web Address is the name or address of a specific web site or web page.
URL is the same as web address and it is the acronym of Uniform Resource Locator
.com, .net, .org those are the TLDs (Top Level Domains) like the file extensions on your PC, each of them is an abbreviation related to something (e.g. .com -> commercial, .net -> network, .org -> organizational, ...) it usuall comes at the end of any domain name which is refers to the web server that hosts the content of the target web site.
Homepage is usually the first page you find when visiting any web site using the domain name, e.g. www.yahoo.com

A web site is a collection of web pages. So for example, www.yahoo.com is the website and this is a webpage that is part of the website www.yahoo.com.

URL (uniform resource locator) and web address are synonymous. Google's URL or web address is www.google.com. CNN's URL or web address is www.cnn.com

A home page can either refer to the main page that opens when you visit a website or the page that you have specified to open when you open your web browser. For example, when I open up internet explorer my.yahoo.com opens up, that is my homepage.

.com, .net, .org, .edu etc are called top level domains. There are many more. Without getting too technical its sort of an indexing system. You may want to read about it rather than me try to put it into plain text!

A web page is a single page.
A web site can be a single page belonging to one user, or all the pages belonging to that user.
For example, clicking on "My Q&A" takes you to a web page on the Yahoo! Answers web site.
A home page is the page that you go to on a site before subdirectories are added... for example, http://answers.yahoo.com takes you to Yahoo! Answers' home page. There are lots of other pages on the site, but the main one is the home page.
A URL is a web address. It stands for Uniform Resource Locator.
.com indicates a commercial site.
.net indicates a network.
.org denotes an organization.

Is that clear as mud?
