What is a URL ?
URL is an abbreviation for “Uniform Resource Locator.” It is the website address that you type in to access a website. For example, http://www.ttuhsc.edu is the URL for Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. When you apply for web space with TTUHSC, you will be given a URL with which you and others can access your website. See “Location of Your Website” for clarification on how this pertains to your site.
Every piece of information on the WWW has its own address or URL (Uniform Resource Locater). To go to the location you require, type the address into the address window of Internet Explorer and it will take you to the page at the address you have entered. WWW addresses look something like this: www.optuszoo.com.au.
