Usage tips
Register and origin
'Das Home' is a loanword from English (an Anglicism). It is used exclusively in the technical language of the internet and computer technology.
EXAMPLE
Unsere IT-Abteilung gestaltet gerade das Home unserer Firmenwebsite neu.
Our IT department is currently redesigning the home page of our company website.
Specific meaning
In German, 'das Home' refers only to the start page of a website. It is not used for one's own home or homeland.
EXAMPLE
Egal wo du auf der Seite bist, mit einem Klick kommst du zurück zum Home.
No matter where you are on the site, one click takes you back to the home page.
Typical collocations
Typical phrases are 'zum Home zurückkehren' (to return to the home page), 'auf das Home klicken' (to click on the home page), or 'zum Home gelangen' (to get to the home page). The preposition 'zu' (often as 'zum') is very common here.
EXAMPLE
Wenn du dich verirrt hast, klicke einfach auf das Logo, um zum Home zu gelangen.
If you get lost, simply click on the logo to get to the home page.

Home vs Website
website
'die Website' and 'das Home' both belong to an internet presence. 'die Website' means the whole presence with all its pages and content. 'das Home' means only the home page, from which you can click on to other pages. Learners may confuse the words because the home page is part of the website. If you are talking about everything offered under one internet address, you say 'Website'. If you mean only the first page, 'Home' fits.
