URL
A URL (pronounced You-Are-Ell), or Uniform Resource Locator, is a fancy way of saying an address for information on the Internet. If you hear URL, just think “address” or “location.” URLs differ based on how specific you need to be.
A URL is a specific address on the web like http://faso.com. You can find the URL of a web page by looking in the address bar.
The url differs from the domain name since the url contains all portions of the website address.
Example:
Domain Name: faso.com
URL: https://faso.com

IP Address
Every computer/device connected to the Internet has a specially assigned address, an Internet Protocol, also known as an IP address.
Like the street address for your home, an IP address identifies computers. It helps traffic flow between computers because each computer and mobile device has its own IP address.
IP addresses are long strings of numbers, but to make it easier for people to read them, they are written in a series of four sets of numbers broken up by a period.
Examples:
127.023.07.1.
80.98.253.152.
Although we use names to refer to the things we seek on the Internet, such as www.example.com, computers translate these names into numerical addresses so they can send data to the right location.
IP addresses are the numbers that enable our computers, servers, telephones, cameras, printers and sensors to communicate with each other. Without IP addresses, we would have to copy data from device to device manually and use human intervention.
While it's true that your IP address doesn't reveal your address or identity, it can reveal to someone what city or even general area you are in, within several miles in some instances.
You can easily determine your IP address by doing a search in your browser for 'my ip address'.
