Hi! Thanks for a new question.

Please take note of the important disclaimer below that the answer
here is general information only and is not a substitute for informed
professional legal advice.


Circular 66 of the US Copyright Office provides the following
instructions on how to copyright a website or other types of online
works. You must submit the following items:

?1. A properly completed and signed application form?
?2. Appropriate deposit material?
?3. A nonrefundable filing fee for each application in the form of a
check or money order payable to Register of Copyrights?


Based on the information you gave, I think you have to submit the following:

1. Form TX: Download here - http://www.copyright.gov/forms/formtxi.pdf 

2. You can submit a deposit of your work in the following manner:

a. Submit a version of your website in a computer disk
b. or reproduce your entire work like a print out. In this case no
computer disk is required.

3. Pay a Filing Fee of $30


You should send these things at the following address:

Library of Congress
Copyright Office
101 Independence Avenue, S.E.
Washington, D.C. 20559-6000


Just to make sure, read Circular 66 so you can determine more
accurately what types of forms and the appropriate fees you will need
to pay. You can read Circular 66 and know more about the details of
each of the three items on the following link:
