Key Points

• URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator — the address that identifies where a resource sits on the internet.
• A URL has several parts: the protocol (https), the domain name, and optionally a path and query string.
• It is resolved to a numeric IP address by the Domain Name System (DNS).
• A URL locates a resource; it does not create the internet or point to hardware peripherals.

Additional Information

• A URL breaks into identifiable parts, and questions often ask you to name one:

scheme://host/path?query#fragment — for example *https://www.example.com/news/india?id=42#top*

• Distinguish the related terms: a URI identifies a resource in general, a URL identifies it by location, and a URN identifies it by name independent of where it sits.
• The human-readable domain in a URL is translated into a numeric IP address by the DNS (Domain Name System) before the connection is made.
