The address of a website, a type of [[Uniform resource identifier|Uniform resource identifier (URI)]].

The address of a file (or 'resource') accessible on the internet. The type of resource depends on the internet application protocol (such as HTTP or FTP). Using the web's [[Hypertext Transfer Protocol]], the resource can be an [[HTML]] page, an image file, a program, or any other file supported by HTTP. The URL contains the name of the protocol required to access the resource, a domain name that identifies a specific computer on the Internet, and a hierarchical description of a file location on the computer.
