What does URL stands for? Is that the one liners that we click in the net then bring us to several sites?

Question

How can I create one?

Answer 1

Uniform Resource Locator (it is a reference (an address) to a resource on the Internet).

A URL has two main components:

* Protocol identifier (e.g. HTTP)
* Resource name (e.g. yahoo.com)

To get a free one, visit http://freewebs.com

Answer 2

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.

URI/URL syntax in brief:

Every URI (and therefore every URL) begins with the scheme name that defines its namespace, purpose, and the 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-vbn
For example, a Web browser will usually dereference a http://example.org/ by performing an HTTP request to the host example.org, at the default HTTP port (see Port 80).
Dereferencing URI mailto:[e-mail] will usually open a "Compose e-mail" window with the address [e-mail] in the "To" field.
"example.com" is a domain name;
an IP address or other network address might be used instead.

"Clean" and "cruft-free" describe URLs which are:

Not tied to technical details, such as the software used or whether the resource comes from a file or a database - so that a change in the technology will not break existing links to the resource. e.g. /cars/audi/ is preferable to /cars/audi/index.php or /myprog.jsp?page=cars/audi/.
Not tied to internal organisational structure, such as the current editor or department that created the document - so an internal reorganisation will not cause existing links to the document to break. e.g. /recommendations/2007/xyz/ is better than /~users/jane/current-work/xyz/ or /xyz-team/recommendations/.
Consistent with other URLs in the same site in terms of hierarchy. This is desirable so a user can see where they are in the structure of the site, and can predict where to find what they are looking for. e.g. /cars/audi/ and /cars/ford/, instead of /cars/audi/ but /ford-cars/.
Consistent with other URLs in the same site in terms of action. This is desirable so a user can predict other, similar URLs on that site, e.g. if /blogs/andrea/feed/ shows a feed of Andrea's blog, then appending /feed/ to any another blog on the same site should show a feed for that blog.
A single location for a single resource. The same resource should not be available from multiple URLs, as this results in both confusion (Are they the same resource, or is one a copy of the other? Which is the 'right' one? Is one new and the other due to be removed?) and technical difficulties, e.g. counting links to a particular resource, or caching content to speed up access but not being able to show the cached content when the resource is accessed using a different URL.

An example of the difference between "clean" and "standard" URLs could be seen as:

Standard:
http://example.com/index.php?section=articles&subsection=recent

Clean:
http://example.com/articles/recent/
or
http://example.com/articles/2007/

URLs are typically entered into the address or location bar of a web browser. To the right is a standard Microsoft Internet Explorer address bar. Address bars may of course vary in appearance depending on which web browser it is displayed in, and which skin is in use.

Answer 4

Uniform Resource Locators, or URLs, used as addresses on the World Wide Web to indicate the virtual location of a web site or document. Virtual being not real meaning most of them are redirected with out you even realizing it.

Answer 5

URL is Uniform Resource Locator, a pointer to a "resource" on the World Wide Web. A resource can be something as simple as a file or a directory, or it can be a reference to a more complicated object, such as a query to a database or to a search engine.

Well its different then domain name...
its something gives you pointer to reach exact location in website.

Hope this will help
Cheers:)

Answer 6

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. It's what appears in your location/address bar at the top of your browser, e.g. www.google.com.
For you to create one, you need to register a domain with someplace like www.networksolutions.com or www.godaddy.com, usually for around $10. These places usually will also host your domain with a little server space for a monthly fee.

Answer 7

URL = Uniform Resource Locator
it's basically a web address
You register your domain with a registrar and that gives you your reference point on the web. the folders you make on your webserver form the components of the URL (from your root web directory)

Answer 8

Uniform Resource Locator and its just a matter of creating a web page. Do a google search to learn how.

Answer 9

It stands Universal Resource Locator and yes it is the name of the web address you type. It depends what you are trying to do on how you create one???

Answer 10

Definition of URL:
This is what we type in the address box to go to a particular website.

URL is an abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator, the global address of resources on the Internet.

The first part of the address indicates what protocol to use, ex: http, and the second part specifies the domain name, ex: google.com where the resource is located.

The "one liners" we click on to go to a different site:
An element in an electronic document that links to another place in the same document or to an entirely different document. Typically, you click on the hyperlink to follow the link. Hyperlinks are the most essential ingredient of all hypertext systems, including the World Wide Web.
