what is the location of a resource on the internet given by?
The location of a resource on the internet is given by its URL (Uniform Resource Locator).
A URL is basically the “address” of a specific resource (like a web page, image, or file) on the web. It usually includes:
- The protocol (for example,
https://) – how to access the resource.
- The domain name (for example,
www.example.com) – which server to contact.
- The path (for example,
/folder/page.html) – the exact resource on that server.
Domain names and IP addresses help find the server, but only the URL specifies the exact resource and how to retrieve it.
