In these times where technology is increasing at an exponential rate, one of the most important things in our society is the internet. There are many different parts to the internet but a part that is very clear to me is a URL. Im sure there are many people who do not fully understand what a URL is so I will explain it in detail.
A URL, or Uniform Resource Locator, is he unique address that is given to a website. No two websites can have the same URL. A URL is made up of four parts. These parts are the protocol, the domain name, the path and he file name.
The protocol tells the web browser what sort of server it will talk to to fetch the URL. An example of the protocol is http. The domain name identifies he website containing the page. In terms of this blog website the domain name would be www.blogger.com. Next, the path is what identifies where a page is located within a certain website. Last is the file name which specifies the specific file that is being viewed on the page. It will look something like index.asp.
I hope this gives everyone a better understanding of what a URL is and what the different parts are that go into it.
