LEARN: Watch the URL change

Uniform Resource Locator, URL, is a means of addressing the web, like numbers on the side of a mailbox. People and organizations purchase domain names to keep the entire website in one base address, called the domain (See <Domain Lookup> to search for domain name availability) .

Everything after the first "/" is the structure internal to the domain or passed parameters.
