What is a URL?

A URL (universal resource locator) is an address to a computer website. When you type a URL into your browser, your computer will find the website and load it for you to read. All URLs are marked with "http://", which stands for "hypertext transfer protocol". URLs usually end with a "dot-something".

Some URL endings:

.com company or commercial
.edu education
.gov government
.mil military
.org organization
.net network
