- URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator.
- Every web site has an IP address like, 72.14.207.99.
- But that IP address doesn't mean much to you unless I tell you it's the IP address for google.com.
- So a URL is an address that utilizes words to locate a specific site on the Internet.
- URLs are not case-sensitive you can type in WWW.BUTTERSCOTCH.COM and get to the same place.
- Not all URLs start with HTTP.
- Some start with HTTPS, FTP and more.
