URL Format

A URL consists of three parts:

1. Protocol — what method will be used to transfer the data (usually HTTP.)
2. Host — the unique name of the computer (Host) that holds the resource
3. Path — a relative path name of the disk file on the host

These parts are put together like this:

Protocol://Host/Path

For example, here is a popular URL:
