Answer

A location on a net server is called a URL or Uniform Resource Locator.

The difference between a URL and an email address is as follows:

URL	Email Address
URL is the address of a webpage on the world wide web.	An email address is the address of a mail box of an e-mail account holder.
A web address is written as `type://address/path`, where : type — specifies the the type of server or protocol, address — is the address of the server path — tells the location of file on the server.	An e-mail address is written as `username@hostname`, where: username — is the net name of the user `@` — symbol of `at the rate` host name — is the server/host/network that services the e-mail.
A URL never has an '@' sign in it.	An email address always contains an '@' sign.
