This is an online version of a URL training quiz presented in Tech Café 2025-08-14.
URL Components
How Websites are organised:
✨ Note: The sub-domains and the path can be set to anything the domain owner chooses. While in most cases these components of the URL are used appropriately, there are also scams which use these parts of a URL to deceive you. This is why it is necessary to have a basic understanding of how a URL is structured and how to identify the registered domain.
✔️ Once you have mastered how to identify the registered domain, you are in a much better position to navigate the Internet securely. Ignoring deceptive URLs will become second nature to you – just like brushing your teeth! 😊
▶️ Spot The Domain!
In this quiz, we include the TLD as part of the registered domain.
This is because choosing a TLD is a necessary part of registering a domain.
⚠️ Bonus assignment: To get an idea of what domains are available and what is involved, check domain availability at one of the many registrars. For example here: https://www.godaddy.com/en-au/tlds/au-domain
