Web addresses
A web address is an identification address assigned to a computer.
Most web
addresses begin with “http://” because that is how information moves on the
web. The next part of the address usually contains “www” to identify the
address as a World Wide Web address. The site specific (command) portion
of the address follows “www” and may consist of the command acronym.
The web address terminates in a period and suffix (abbreviation) that
identifies the domain or type of computer using the address. Notice that web
addresses are in lowercase letters. The following table lists common
domains.
