URL - Uniform Resource Locator
The URL is the address of a resource, or file, available on the Internet. The URL contains the protocol of the resource (e.g. http:// or ftp://), the domain name for the resource, and the hierarchical name for the file (address). For example, a page on the internet may be at the URL http://www.learnthat.com/define/u/url.shtml. The beginning part, http:// provides the protocol, the next part www.learnthat.com is the domain, the main domain is learnthat.com, while www is a pointer to a computer or a resource. The rest, /define/u/url.shtml is the pointer to the specific file on that server.
The URL could point to other things, CGI programs, Java programs, graphic files, or other resources available on the Internet.

A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a Uniform Resource Identifier which, “in addition to identifying a resource, [provides] a means of locating the resource by describing its primary access mechanism (e.g., its network ‘location’).”
People often call an Internet domain name a “URL”. People sometimes call the concatenation of an Internet domain name and a URI path a “URL”. Neither construct is a URI and so neither construct is a URL. However, there is a widely-deployed body of software that accepts these constructs in place of URIs, translating the constructs to URIs using context, heuristics, or both. For example, widespread Web browsers accept the text “www.example.com” as user input in an address field, inferring the scheme and yielding “http://www.example.com”.
