contribution / post
Both Beitrag and Posting can refer to content published online. Beitrag is the more general German word for an entry, comment, or piece of content, while Posting explicitly identifies something published online. In a neutral German text, Beitrag usually fits best; Posting places more emphasis on the internet context.
