    Hi John Lionel Rochfort,

    In computing, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that specifies where an identified resource is available and the mechanism for retrieving it. It is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.

    The first part of the address is called a protocol identifier and it indicates what protocol to use, and the second part is called a resource name and it specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located. The protocol identifier and the resource name are separated by a colon and two forward slashes.

    • What exactly do you want to know about URL?
    • Are you facing any issue related to it?

    If yes, elaborate your question in the next post.

    Regards,

    Divya R – Microsoft Support.
