1 <p>Relative addresses are great if you are creating a website on your computer or the navigation for the pages on <em>your own</em>website. But if you need to create a link to <em>another</em>website on the Internet, then you need to use a “regular” address.</p>

2 <p>This “normal” or full address is called the<i>absolute</i>address. It looks like the following, for example:</p>

3 https://site.com/blog/index.html<p>Absolute addresses consist of at least three parts: the protocol, server name, and path.</p>

4 https: - Protocol //site.com - Server name /blog/index.html - Path<p>If the address does not contain a server name or protocol, then this is a relative address:</p>

5 https://site.com/blog/index.html - Absolute address //site.com/blog/index.html - Relative address /blog/index.html - Relative address index.html - Relative address<p>The text of the main page does not contain even one useful link, such as a link to web layout courses. This is where an absolute address is useful.</p>
