URL


In computing, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that specifies where an identified resource is available and the mechanism for retrieving it. The use of the URLs is for the addresses of web pages on the World Wide Web(WWW).  A URL is a URI that, "in addition to identifying a source, provides a means of locating the resource by describing its primary access mechanism (e.g., its network location)". it specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located.
