Default Difference between Port and Sherry?

Could someone reccomend a website explaining the difference between Ports
and Sherries? I know that both are higher alcohol desert wines, and both
seem to be made from adding brandy to red wine.

If I understand correct, "Port" is supposed to be used only for wines of
this nature made in the western region of Portugal. Are Sherries simply
Ports made outside of this region, or is there another difference?
