The Internet

The Internet is like a Global City. It has Government Institutions (gov), various kind of non-profit Organisations (org), Commercial Complexes and shopping malls (com), Educational Institutions (edu), etc. So, to go to a proper place, you need an address. For the Internet, we called this the Web Address or the World Wide Web (www). It is also called the URL (Uniform Resource Locator). The URL has three parts - (1) the unique (domain) name, (2) the type of business and (3) the country the domain is registered.
