Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
A uniform resource locator (URL) is the address that is used in the web browser to request a resource (web page) from the world wide web.
E.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/index.html
It can be broken down into three mains parts:
| Access Protocol | http:// |
|---|---|
| Domain Name (Web Server) | www.bbc.co.uk |
| Filename | /index.html |
