URL An acronym for Uniform Resource Locator, a URL is the address for a resource or
site (usually a directory or file) on the World Wide Web and the convention that web
browsers use for locating files and other remote services.
Web Page A web page is a document created with HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) that is
part of a group of hypertext documents or resources available on the World Wide
Web. Collectively, these documents and resources form what is known as a website.
HTML documents that reside somewhere on the Internet or on the local hard drive
can be read with a web browser. Web browsers read HTML documents and display
them as formatted presentations, with any associated graphics, sound, and video, on
a computer screen.
Web pages can contain hypertext links to other places within the same document, to
other documents at the same website, or to documents at other websites. They can
also contain fill-in forms, photos, large clickable images , sounds, and videos for
downloading.
Website A website is a collection of network services, primarily HTML documents, that are
linked together and that exist on the World Wide Web at a particular server.
Exploring a website usually begins with the home page, which may lead you to more
information about that site. A single server may support multiple websites.
