Hi Neha Goyal

A horizontal portal covers many areas. It can be used as a platform for multiple social and collaborative purposes. It can also be used by more than one company in the same industry. Liferay Portal is a horizontal portal, because it has a collaborative suite of blogs, wiki, mail, and calendar portlets. Its message board and chat portlets can be used for social activities.

example for horizontal portal is WWW.YAHOO.COM

A vertical portal focuses on one functional area. It is a specialized entry point to a specific market, industry, or subject area.

example of verical portal is WWW.YOUTUBE.COM, it focus only on videos.
