Full origin of URL →Frequently Asked Questions
What does URL stand for?
Uniform Resource Locator. The name describes its job: it locates a specific resource, such as a page or file, in a uniform format that any browser can read.
What is the difference between a URL and a domain name?
The domain name is only the site part, such as example.com. The URL is the whole address, including the protocol at the front and any path, page and query string after the domain. Every URL contains a domain, but a domain on its own is not a full URL.
How do you pronounce URL?
Most people spell it out as 'you-ar-el'. Some technologists say it as a single word, 'earl', but the letter-by-letter pronunciation is far more common and always understood.
