Uniform Resource Locators (URLs for short) are addresses used by browsers to connect to other resources,

URLs have at least two basic parts:

• Protocol used to connect to the resource -  http:// is the most common
• Domain Name -  the name of the server where the resource is located.

 A URL may also contain additional parts specifying the directory path and/or the file name.

Example:

The different parts of the following URL are identified below.
        http://www.eatright.org
 

Protocol:	http
Domain Name:	www.eatright.org
