A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a website address e.g. www dot wiki dot answers dot com.

They are used for translating website IP addresses into easy-to-remember text.

Without URLs, you would have to type in the servers domain name every time you wanted to visit a website. A domain name is like a websites phone number or address. WikiAnswers, for example, is found at 67.196.156.63. Without a URL, you would have to memorise these numbers every time you wanted to visit the website.
