What is the term for the address where users can access a website?

The term that accurately describes the address where users can access a website is commonly referred to as a URL, which stands for Uniform Resource Locator. A URL provides the specific location of a resource on the internet and includes the protocol (like HTTP or HTTPS), the domain name, and potentially a path to a specific page or file within that domain.

While a domain name indicates the human-readable address of a website (such as www.example.com), a URL encompasses more than just the domain name, including protocols and paths that lead users directly to specific content. Web address and domain name can often be used interchangeably in casual conversation, but in a technical sense, they don't fully capture the complete structure of a URL.

An IP address, on the other hand, is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. While IP addresses are essential for the routing of data across networks, they are not the direct means by which users ordinarily access websites, as most users rely on URLs or domain names for browsing.
