HTTP is the protocol that enables the World Wide Web. www.congressonlineproject.org - This is the domain name for our Web site. There is only one server in the world that is registered to host our domain. That means that any time someone accesses a URL with this domain, their computer is directed to that server via the World Wide Web. glossary.html - This is the file name. Because we do not have a huge Web site, all of our files sit in the main folder of our domain. If we had a bigger Web site, we might put this file in a folder called "help." This would mean that the URL for this page would be http://www.congressonlineproject.org/help/glossary.html.
