There are actually several web sites.

• NASA Exoplanet Archive --- Formerly known as the "NASA Star and Exoplanet Database" (NStED)
  
• The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia (EU) --- The ESA exoplanet database
• Exoplanet Data Explorer --- Sponsored by CalTech, Berkley, Penn State, NSF, and NASA
  
• Open Exoplanet Catalogue --- A wide variety of sources, including the general public.
