What is the purpose of the address bar? The address bar is at the top of every browser and is used to input an exact website address. All websites have an exact spelling, all lower case, no spacing, no symbols, and close with a URL such as Dot-COM.
Inputs that include a URL such as a dot-com, dot-net, dot-biz will go directly to that website. If the input does not have a URL, the address bar acts as a search engine. The internet could not function without the address bar.
A website address has 3 parts to it, the Protocol, the Name, and the URL. HTTPS:// is the Protocol, ronthegeek is the name, COM is the URL. Every website in the world has its own unique Domain Name. You can forward as many domain names as you want to the same website, but only one is the actual website address. The primary domain name is connected to the website; additional domains are forwarded to the website IP address.
