Basics of a Web Navigation

The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is an Internet address for a website or, in other words, the address or location of the files on the World Wide Web. The major difference between the World Wide Web and the Internet is the World Wide Web contains other forms of electronic communications, such as various wireless transmissions, cell phone traffic, text messages, Instant Messaging, proprietary databases and private company intranets.  The Internet, on the other hand, is the network of servers and providers that are accessible via web browsers and search engines.

Websites are series of documents that are connected through hyperlinks (words or images that can open a new document when clicked). Websites are stored on a web server and published on the web to be viewed on the Internet.
