Heya!
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and Domain Name System (DNS) can be used interchangeably. Your URL and Domain name point to a series of files on the internet, or on your web server.
The confusion for first timers is drawing the line between the Domain Name and the Server. You have your domain registered within the DNS or Domain Name System, BUT you also have to have a Web Server to hold your web content – so insure that you not only have a registered domain name, but you also have a Web Server to hold your web files. Here is a diagram of how it looks…
www.yoursite.com —-> Web Server <—— User/Site Visitor
(sucks to have no drawing tools…LOL!!)
Your URL will point to s series web files (website) and users will access these files on the web server by typing in your URL.
Cheers!
