I agree. These terms correspond to existing terms like websites,
webpages, and web services.

Just for clarification, it looks like we're thinking:
"hidden services": old term, migrating away from this name
"onion services": new term, applies to servers bound to any TCP port
	"single onion service": a non-anonymous onion service
"onionsite": a website hosted in the .onion space
