This document explains the different parts of a web address. It begins by explaining that "http://" stands for the Hypertext Transfer Protocol and helps locate the web page. It then explains that "www" stands for the World Wide Web and indicates the page is on the world wide web. The next section like "cnn" is the name of the specific webpage or website. The domain name, like ".com", tells where the page is registered and the type of site. Common domain names are ".com" for commercial sites, ".edu" for education, ".org" for organizations, and ".gov" for government sites. Sometimes there is a slash and additional text after the domain name to indicate a specific page within the site.
