I think it is not so much that it can refer to anything as it refers to
different things in different contexts.
1) A homepage as the top level 'entrance page' to a web site
(http://www.myserver.com/ or http://www.myserviceprovider.com/~myaccount/).
Homepage in this context is the idea of a 'homebase page' or place to
begin from and perhaps to return to.
2) A homepage as the entire collection of pages on a *personal* web
'sub-site' (http://www.myserviverprovider.com/~myaccount/*).
Homepage here is used in the idea of 'My home. My place. My personal
space.'
