A web address or uniform resource locator (URL) is the internet or intranet location of a website, file or database. Using a web address, users can visit a website, download a file or send an email. Just like with regular addresses that are usually in the “country, city/town, street, apartment/house” format, there are different degrees of specification for a URL: There’s the network address or website (such as google, facebook, 10web, etc.), the top level domain (such as .com, .io, .org, etc.), the folder, the subfolder, and the file or the page.
