Key Concepts           URLs and Internet Addresses

• URLs are 'addresses' to locate pages on the Internet.
• URLs can be divided into several parts including the domain name which indicates the organization or entity that sponsors the page.
• Top level domain names indicate the type of organization to which the page is associated with such as .com for commercial and .edu for education.
• Country codes indicate the country that the information is originating from such as .uk for United Kingdom.
