(This is the URL for Zurich-American Insurance Co.)

Unique reference location. Each web page on the internet has a unique address, usually commencing with the expression http://www.servername. It tells your browser on your computer which internet page to open and display on your monitor.()
Universal Resource Locators. Addresses for the location of any type of Internet resource, whether it is a single file on an FTP site, and entire Gopher server, or an image on the Web. URLs do all of this without you having to know the exact address of where you are, or even how you got there! Note that URLs are case sensitive, which means that uppercase letters are considered different form the lowercase letters; Library, with a capital "l," is not the same as library with a small "l." So be careful when typing in URL addresses.
Pronounced "earls". The address system used by the Internet to locate resources such as web sites. An URL includes the type of resource being accessed such as gopher or hypertext), the address of the server, and the location of the file. For example, the complete URL for the PHTN Web site is index.asp. "http://" indicates the access method as Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. "www.cdc.gov" is the address of the server. "/phtn/" specifies the directory the file is located. "index.aspl" is the initial page of the PHTN Web site. Web browsers will assume "http://" and "index.aspl", so you can simply use www.cdc.gov/phtn as the URL.
