What is a URL?

Answer 1

URL is an acronym for "Uniform Resource Locator".

It is the address of a "resource", like a web page, on the internet.

For example, website URL's begin with HTTP://

It is how you get somewhere, or access to something, on the internet.

Answer 2

1. Abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator, the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.
The first part of the address indicates what protocol to use, and the second part specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located.

For example, the two URLs below point to two different files at the domain pcwebopedia.com. The first specifies an executable file that should be fetched using the FTP protocol; the second specifies a Web page that should be fetched using the HTTP protocol:

2. URL redirects here. For other uses of URL, see URL (disambiguation).
The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a technical, Web-related term used in two distinct meanings:

in popular usage, it is a widespread synonym for Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)—many popular and technical texts will use the term "URL" when referring to URI;
in strict technical usage, it is a subset of URI specific to identifiers who are primarily locators.
The standard pronunciation of “URL” is as an initialism (“U-R-L”), but some people pronounce “URL” as an acronym (“Earl”).

Uniform Resource Locator

Answer 5

Every URI (and therefore every URL) begins with the scheme name which defines its namespace, purpose and syntax of the remaining part of the URI. Most Web-enabled programs will try to dereference a URI according to the semantics of its scheme and a context-specific heuristics. For example, a Web browser will usually dereference a http://example.org by performing a HTTP request to the host example.org, port 80. Dereferencing URI mailto:[e-mail] will usually open a "Compose e-mail" window with the address [e-mail] in the "To" field.
