An email address and URL (Uniform Resource Locator) differ from each other in the following ways:
| Email Address | URL |
|---|---|
| It is a unique electronic address from where e-mails can be sent or received. | The Uniform Resource Locator denotes the global address of web documents and web resources. |
| An e-mail address consists of two parts - a Username and a Domain Name, separated by the @ ('at') symbol. | A URL consists of four parts — scheme, host, domain and path. |
| We always use an '@' symbol in an e-mail address. | We don't use an '@' symbol in a URL. |
| For example, abc.2012@gmail.com, xyz@yahoo.com. | For example, http://www.google.com, http://www.cbse.nic.in. |
