the addressing scheme used to link resources on the Web. Like the post office, which must have addresses to deliver mail, Internet users - and their computers - must have addresses in order to send and receive messages. A URL has two parts, separated by by ://. Example:
http://www.whitehouse.gov (Clicking here actually jumps you to the Whitehouse for a cyber-visit.) The portion before the "://" is the web protocol, which could be http://, gopher:// ... The after portion is the name of the computer the person is using - the host.
The name of this host computer may consist of several parts, each separated by a period. The last part tells you what kind of organization owns the computer. For example, gov stands for government, com for commercial organizations, edu for educational institutions, mil for the military, and so forth. Occasionally you see names which end with country codes. The United States designation is us.
