URL

Series of letters and/or numbers specifying the location of a document on the World Wide Web. Every URL consists of a domain name, a description of the document's location within the host computer, and the name of the document itself, separated by full stops and backslashes. Thus The Times Web site can be found at http://www.the-times.co.uk/news/pages/home.html, and a tribute to Elvis Presley is at http://sunsite.unc.edu/elvis/elvishom.html. The complexity of URLs explains why bookmarks and links, which save the user from the chore of typing them in, are so popular.
