Blast from the past: URL

Date: 19-Dec-2013

A URL or Uniform Resource Locators is an addresses the computer uses to get to the material or the content demanded by the client. The client ofcourse is the browser on the user computer. This user computer has an internet connection used to go online. NAT systems usually sit in the middle and are used to translate the internet identity of the user (IP address) into the identity of the network. Think of it as obscuring the identity of the user a bit.

Now consider the following url:

http://xyyuuu.werghtjnk.com/ngfmy/gfm/y5389

  • The com part is the top level domain or TLD.
  • The werghtjnk is the address of the website or the domain.
  • The xyyuuu is the subdomain of the website. Think of xyyuuu as a smaller site. The sort of micro-site the latest smartphone gets when it is launched.
  • ngfmy is the subdirectory
  • gfm is the subdirectory below ngfmy
  • y5389 is the subdirectory below gfm
  • Incase breadcrumbs have been used/implemented, you will see links towards the top left corner of the page. You can use it to go from the y5389 straight to the homepage of werghtjnk. Ofcourse you can also go step one step backwards just as well
    at a time if you so please.
