Answer:

A Uniform Resource Locator, or URL, is web-speak for address. It is the address of a web page and contains several elements. An email address identifies an account on a mail server. Quite often an email server has the same domain name as the web site. The major difference between a URL and an email address is that the email address always has an "at"sign ("@") and a URL never does.

URL Format  (Web address)

A URL has three main elements: a protocol identifier, a domain name and a file and path structure. For example, in "http://www.something.com/here/what.html"the "http" is the protocol identifier, "www.something.com" is the domain name" and "here/what.html"is the path and file name. The protocol identifier tells what transfer protocol or language is in operation to carry the file. The domain name is the name of the web site. The file is the page the user wishes to see and the path is the directory on the web server where the file is located

Email Format

An email also has a domain name. However, the domain name does not have "www"in front of it. The domain name is preceded by a user name and the two parts of the email address are separated by "@." So an email address looks like "[email protected]."
