A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a string of characters conforming to a standardized format, which refers to a resource on the Internet (such as a document or an image) by its location. For example, the URL of this page on Wikipedia is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Locator.
An HTTP URL, commonly called a web address, is usually shown in the address bar of a web browser.
The term is typically pronounced as either a spelled-out initialism ("yoo arr ell") or as an acronym (earl or ural as in the Ural Mountains).
Tim Berners-Lee created the URL in 1991 to allow the publishing of hyperlinks on the World Wide Web, a fundamental innovation in the history of the Internet. Since 1994, the URL has been subsumed into the more general Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), but URL is still a widely used term.
The U in URL has always stood for Uniform, but it is sometimes described as Universal, perhaps because URI did mean Universal Resource Identifier before RFC 2396.

Uniform Resource Locator, an HTTP address used by the World Wide Web to specify a certain site. This is the unique identifier, or address, of a web page on the internet. URL can be pronounced "you-are-ell" or "earl." It is how web pages, ftp's, gophers, newsgroups and even some email boxes are located.
The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) provides a way of uniquely specifying the address of any document on the Internet. This is the lynchpin of WWW's embedded linking. The typical URL specifies the method used to access the resource (the protocol), the name of the host computer on which it is located, and the path of the resource, eg http://www.terena.nl/gnrt/websearch/index.html The protocol specified in this example is http (HyperText Transfer Protocol), the protocol of the World Wide Web
the address of a web page on the world wide web
