The Url They are the addresses by which we access all the websites we visit. It is used as an easier way to hide what is actually behind it: a IP number which identifies a server. The birth of URLs was given as a way to share websites and that the person could remember them by name. For example: www.google.com, www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXGpsF3dY, 72.21.211.176 (Amazon).
Consider, for example, if URLs didn’t exist, people would have to share a number like 195.221.1.25, something that would obviously be much more difficult, if not impossible, to memorize.
Examples of URLs we normally use
- www.google.com
- www.facebook.com
- www.youtube.com
- www.themeforest.net
- www.enter.co
- www.icefilms.info
- www.wikipedia.org
- www.rojadirecta.me
- blog.hubspot.com
- en.wikipedia.org
- help.iwantmyname.com
- support.hostgator.com
Then we also have URLs that take us to a particular content, for example:
- www.domain.me/what-are-subdomains/
- www.google.com/adsense/start/
- www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXGpsF3dY
- www.halfelf.org/2012/subdomain-vs-domain/
Then we also have URLs that, as we discussed at the beginning, are IP numbers. If we enter them, we will see that they lead us to a website in particular, as if we entered through the original address.
- 72.21.211.176 (Amazon)
- 216.58.217.142 (Google)
- 198.41.208.138 (Reddit)
- 98.139.183.24 (Yahoo!)
URLs also have endings that tell us where the website belongs. These are normally used by local users Y Government agencies of that country. For example:
- www.google.mx (Mexico)
- www.buenosaires.gob.ar (Argentina)
- www.nic.bo (Bolivia)
- www.lanacion.com
- www.paypal.com
- www.youtube.com
- codecanyon.net
