URL
URL = Uniform Resource Locators. Look at the picture below:

On the line where it says Location you can see a long text starting with http://. That line of text is the URL.
The first part of a URL answers the following questions:
- Do you want to go to a Web Server? Then you start with: http:// first.
- Do you want to go to an FTP-server? Then you start with: ftp:// first.
- Do you want to go to a Gopher-server? Then you start with: gopher:// first.
The part that follows the first part tells you:
- Which Internet Computer you are going to visit.
- Exactly where you will land inside that computer.
