Every website on the internet has a unique URL which can be entered in the address bar of a web browser to access and view it. Any other file or resource such as an image file, ~~Web~~ (HTML) page other than home page, a Java applet and even a program such as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) application inside a website can also be accessed using a URL.

The URL consists of a protocol that tells the web browser how to retrieve the file or a resource; a domain name which identifies a specific computer on the Internet; and a pathname, a hierarchical description, which specifies the location of the particular file on the computer. A computer referred here can also be called a web server which stores web pages and files associated with them and provide them to clients (web browsers) when a request is made in the form of accessing a URL.
