What is the difference between a domain name and a URL?

A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the full web address that points to a specific resource (such as a webpage, image, or video) on the internet. A domain name is just one part of a URL.

For example:
URL: https://domain.me/blog/
Domain Name: domain.me

A URL consists of multiple components:

Protocol (https://) – Defines how data is transferred (HTTP or HTTPS, with “S” indicating a secure connection).
Domain Name (domain.me) – The core address of the website.
Path (/blog/) – Specifies a particular page or resource.

Using HTTPS ensures encryption and security, especially for sites handling sensitive user data.
