A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a reference to a web resource, it is a web address. Browsers request web pages by using an URL. It is specific type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).
A URL contains a protocol (http, ftp, ...), a hostname (extendsclass.com), and a file name (url-encode.html).
