Internet address

Typically in the form of a URL, an Internet Address is the designation of a specific virtual location, often comprising the hosting server, appropriate directory, and specific file to be accessed. The most familiar form of address comes in the form of http://, but others exist, such as telnet:// and many more.

Each address can also be referred to by a numeric code, generally in a form such as the following: 123.456.789.01:2345 - this is the 'real' address, with the above words being a mask for the humans who operate the computers to understand.
