Anatomy of a URLs
Here is how to interpret the various parts of a URL:
http:// www.taylorapp.com/workshop/index.html
http:// -- Short for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, this indicates a hypertext document or directory.
www -- This indicates a page on the World Wide Web. Sometimes the "www" is missing.
taylorapp.com -- Called the domain name, it often tells you the name of a company, university, or organization. It can also tell you the country of origin.
www.taylorapp.com -- Together, these indicate the web server name.
workshop -- This is directory or folder on the web server that contains a group of related web pages within the website.
index.html -- This is a web page inside the folder. [The same file can be named index.htm] A URL doesn't always include the name of the web page.
