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;
strictly, the idea of a uniform syntax for global identifiers of network-retrievable documents was the core idea of the World Wide Web. In the early times, these identifiers were variously called "document names", "Web addresses" and "Uniform Resource Locators". These names were misleading, however, because not all identifiers were locators, and even for those that were, this was not their defining characteristic. Nevertheless, by the time the RFC 1630 formally defined the term "URI" as a generic term best suited to the concept, the term "URL" had gained widespread popularity, which has continued to this day.

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locater, and it specifies the address of "file" on the internet.
It is made up of several sub parts.
the part before the colon ':' specifies the protocol, communication mechanism used. (e.g. http, https, ftp )
The part after the ''//" up to the next "/" identifies the name of the computer. The DNS system translates this name into a computers actual IP address.
(eg en.wikipedia.org identifies a server called "en" controlled by the "wikipedia" domain, the "org" part specifies the root DNS server class for that domain.
the part after the "/" is called the path and identifies the name of a "file" on the server. Because of things like rewrite rules the content might actually be a db query or some other form of dynamic content.

Every entity in WWW needs something to identify and call. Its similar to the names for Human Beings. Uniform Resource Locator(URL) is something which will be used to identify the WWW resource. The web address you type in the Internet Browser is the URL:
Example: http://www.expertsforge.com

It's the opposite of an 'oy. Although, I think it's supposed to be spelled 'irl. ;) J/K I couldn't resist. ;) lol
Seriously though, I'm pretty sure it's the website location. ;)
