Wiki? How come you didn't check out wikipedia? Thats one of the first places I check out when looking for answers. I make sure to cross reference whatever I find though. You can never really trust one source which is constantly being updated. Answers.com is another good reference worth bookmarking.

URL is the exact location to each website .. just like an address to your lovely house

The W3C has a pretty good page about URL's and URI's. 

Basically an URL (uniform resource locator), it an URI (uniform resource identifier) with a specific encoding and access protocol. So URLs are a type of URIs. And URIs are very much like the adress for a house (to use ashiezai's example), and URLs are more like the adress + how to get there.

Gnah, the Wikipedia link should be this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL

heh... i'd like to know which "URL" you're talking about before I answer the question. Is the the URL as in the adress of a site? That's very basic information, so I doubt that you're asking what that means.
