Jargonism used to denote main page website.

The origin of the name is due to the fact that in English the “main page” is “home page” or simply “home”. By modifying the pronunciation, the “home” turned out to be “hamster”.

Also used option "muzzle", the origin of which is already somewhat:

  1. From the same “homyak”, which has a “muzzle” or “muzzle”.
  2. “Morda” is a slang rough version of the name of the face. After all, the main page of the site is its “face” - the first thing that visitors see when they enter it. The first thing that affects their formation of an opinion about the visited resource.

In search progress, links from the “hamster” (“muzzles”) are very appreciated in the formation reference profile, because they are the most significant.
