It's natural to start with www. once you consider an internet site and to finish with .com/.org/.net. ⁣
⁣
⁣
Web addresses are everywhere. ⁣
⁣
⁣
But what does it all mean and why is it important? ⁣
⁣
⁣
If you Stay With Me--- ⁣
⁣
You're close to find out!⁣
⁣
Web Address is the layman's term for the technical term URL, which stands for Universal Resource Locator
⁣
Let's use the URL of this online document as an example:⁣
⁣
http:// www. infopathways .com /documents/WhitePapers/ web-address-makeup.pdf⁣
⁣
http:// stands for Hyoer Text Transfer Protocol
⁣
⁣
http:// tells the pc to transfer a webpage (hypertext) from the web to your computer.⁣
⁣
Now a days, you do not need to type "http://" before the remainder of your web address because computers assume it. ⁣
⁣
However, it's often necessary to make a properly working hyperlink (a clickable link on a webpage or during a digital document). ⁣
⁣
⁣
You'll also see https://, which represents a secure, encrypted webpage, often for sites that contain or collect confidential or sensitive data like credit cards, passwords.⁣
