Mona is confused between the terms Domain name and URL. Explain the difference with the help of suitable example.

Answer 1

• A domain name identifies a website or host on the internet, for example, www.school.com.
• A URL is the complete web address of a resource. It can include the protocol, domain name and the path to a specific page.
• Example: In https://www.school.com/admissions.html, www.school.com is the domain name, while the entire address is the URL.
