Either one is acceptable. It started as "on line". It was used so much as a term meaning "to be connected to the internet" that people started pushing the words together. Usually it was hyphenated at that time "on-line". Now "on-line" and "online" are both perfectly acceptable.

I agree with ciscocaja, either would be acceptable. - MaryMcc, Feb 8, 2012

En inglés, la palabra es más típicamente escrito como "online," pero la palabra con un guión también es correcta.
