A URL can be entered manually via typing it in the web browser's address bar. If the URL does not contain a valid domain, the browser may show a Server not found error and the browser may show a 404 error if the route in the URL is incorrect. A URL does not include spaces, and to reflect various files, it uses forward slashes. So, dashes & underscores are being used.
