What is a URL (“Uniform Resource Locator”)?
A URL stands for (“Uniform Resource Locator“) and is the thing that you type in your web browser to go to a particular page or site. Usually this is a domain name, (such as webhostanswers.net), but can also be an IP address. It is the name of IP address used to point to a particular page or document on the web.
A URL address can also be an FTP location. Something like:
ftp://somedomain.com
which will point to the FTP location/folder of that website or server. An example of an http URL Resource could be something like:
http://mydomain.com or http://www.mydomain.com
