What is a URL?
The URL (Uniform Resource Locator) identifies
a file location, typically in the form
http://www.name.extension
The URL contains the protocol and the pathway
to a site and may include the path to a specific
file within that site. Each period, or dot, in the
URL separates elements within the address. For
example, you will see the URL extension .com
used by companies.
When you enter the URL into your browser
Address box and press the Enter key on your
keyboard, the browser contacts that location
and displays the Web page for you.
What is an e-mail address?
Your e-mail address identifies the electronic
post office box where people can send you
electronic mail. E-mail addresses have the form
name@domain_name
The domain name is usually the name of the
ISP or organization, and includes an extension
identifying the kind of organization the ISP is.
For example, if your name is Jane Jones and
XYZ is your ISP, your e-mail address might be
JaneJones@xyz.com
with the extension .com indicating that XYZ is
a business. For information on using e-mail, see
"Sending and Receiving E-Mail" on page 54.
