Enter a Web Page Address
If you know the address of a specific web page, you can type it into the web browser to display the page. Every web page is uniquely identified by an address called the Uniform Resource Locator, or URL (pronounced yoo-ar-ell or erl).
The URL is composed of four basic parts: the transfer method (usually HTTP, which stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol), the website domain name, the directory where the web page is located on the server, and the web page filename.
The website domain name suffix most often used is .com (commercial), but other common suffixes include .gov (government), .org (nonprofit organization), .edu (education), and country domains such as .ca (Canada).
