  • Among other things, a URL consists of a host and a path:
  • ![URL syntax diagram](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/URI_syntax_diagram.svg)
  • I was wondering (and couldn't find anything) if there's a name for the combination of **host** and **path**.
  • Is there a name for these:
  • * example.com/path/to/file
  • * example.com/file.html
  • * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL
  • It would be useful to have a name for this combination of host and path since, for example, web browsers accept `example.com/path` in the URL bar and the connection works: The browser prepends the scheme and adds the port number.
  • Another example of how common host + path is, which became apparent after posting this question: Codidact's Markdown processor will turn `example.com/path` into a link:
  • ```
  • <a href="http://example.com/path/">example.com/path</a>
  • ```

Name for host + path
Among other things, a URL consists of a host and a path:

![URL syntax diagram](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/URI_syntax_diagram.svg/1602px-URI_syntax_diagram.svg.png)

I was wondering (and couldn't find anything) if there's a name for the combination of **host** and **path**.

Is there a name for these:

  * example.com/path/to/file
  * example.com/file.html
  * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL

It would be useful to have a name for this combination of host and path since, for example, web browsers accept `example.com/path` in the URL bar and the connection works: The browser prepends the scheme and adds the port number.
