the IETF team working on the web standards, and so the address became named the now familiar Uniform Resource Locator.

The word URL can be pronounced either "U-R-L" or "earl". The URL of the current page is usually shown at the top of your web browser. Most web sites are accessible without a "www" prefix, originally used to differentiate web servers from other servers such as FTP sites, but now generally redundant. A URL looks like a computer file path name, where the domain name is the computer, the folders are the file path, and the web page is the file. This is how web servers match URLs to files on their hard drive. However, URLs are separated by "/" and for some reason file path names are separated with "\".





You can select, copy, and paste a URL like any other text after loading a page if you have the URL displayed. On most web pages you can copy the URL with two commands: or to highlight the URL, and -c to copy. Just for the fun of it, some people have gone to the effort of creating URL's that are palindromes - read the same forward and backwards. Jonathan Bowen had the first recorded URL palindrome at:

Internet Domain Names

Internet domain names come in four main types -- top-level domains, second-level domains, third-level domains, and country domains.
Internet domain names are the alphanumeric identifiers we use to refer to hosts on the Internet, like "LivingInternet.com". The structure of Internet domain names was first described in RFC 819, and their syntax was first described in RFC 822. You can look up existing Internet domain names with the whois service, and get your own domain name from an accredited registrar.
