1. A method for mapping a universal resource locator (URL) to a virtual world location comprising: receiving, by a processor of a domain name system (DNS) server, a URL entered by a user for access to an entity; presenting, by the processor, an option to the user for selecting one of accessing the entity in a 2-Dimensional environment or a 3-Dimensional virtual world; routing the URL from the DNS server to a hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) server, wherein the HTTP server is configured to identify the user selecting one of accessing the entity in the 2-Dimensional environment or the 3-Dimensional virtual world; routing the URL to a 2-Dimensional web server infrastructure in response to the user selecting the 2-Dimensional environment; routing the URL to a 3-Dimensional web server infrastructure in response to the user selecting the 3-Dimensional virtual world; accessing, by the processor, a mapping of the URL to coordinates of a location of the entity in the 3-Dimensional virtual world in response to the user selecting to access the entity in the 3-Dimensional virtual world; and providing, by the processor, the coordinates for access to the entity in the 3-Dimensional virtual world.
