What is a URL?

A URL, like so many computer related terms, is a commonly used computer acronym which means:

Uniform resource locators

URL’s are your web browsers addresses of the Internet pages and files. The URL works with your IP addresses to help locate specific pages and files for your web browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Opera)..

URL’s have 3 sections to address a web page or file:

1. 
   
   The protocol, which is the section ending in //:


2. 
   
   The host computer, which ends in the domain tag .com, .net, .org


3. 
   
   And of course the web page address itself:
   
   Such as: http://www.golakehavasu.com/visitors/where-to-stay/hotels.html
