Notes: Navigating the Web (URL & IP)
| Protocol | Site | Subdomain | Domain | Path | | http:// | www.bccancer | .bc | .ca/ | | | http:// | www.bc.cancer | | .ca/ | ccs/ | | http:// | nysernet | | .org/ | bcic/ | | gopher:// | gopher.ncc | .go | .jp/ | |
Web browsers usually add the http:// protocol to any web addresses typed into the Address box, therefore, it is not necessary to manually type this. Note, not all website use www. as shown in the third example. Also, by subsituting another protocol (e.g., gopher:// or ftp://), web browsers can be used for non-Web areas of the Internet. | |
