What is a URL?

Answer

URL : U -> Uniform R -> Resource L -> Locator

As the name implies it locates the resource of ur need.

It is the path or address of something.

If u open a browser and u type the URL in the ADDRESS bar like this :

http://www.gmail.com ---> this is the URL.

after typing ur URL in the address bar , the Search Engine will come into picture and takes this URL what u typed (gmail.com) and starts searching in its SERVSER and displays the URL content that u specified.

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. It is a Web site address. It is what lets you locate a particular site. For example, wiki.answers.com/index.html is the URL for the WikiAnswers home page.

FYI, the domain name is the first part of a URL. Private, corporate, or commercial domains usually end in .com. Government domains usually end in .gov. Non-profit organizations and trade associations usually end in .org. Other countries use different endings, or "top-level domains."
