A url is something you can purchase or arrange to point at your website or a page on it. A domain name is something you own and it encompasses your entire site, period. Everywhere.

Domain name is simply a main address of your site. While URLs are sub-address of each articles on that site.
Example:
Domain name: yourname.com
URL: yourname.com/your_article.html
An easy way of thinking about this is that a domain name is something that you register and pay for at a domain registrar like Namecheap, Namesilo, GoDaddy, etc...
A URL is an address on the internet that you would go to like a web page, blog post, forum, etc...
Domain Name = webmastersun.com
URL = https://www.webmastersun.com/forums/95-web-hosting
URL(Uniform Resource Locator) - It is the way to identify the specific web page.
Domain name - It is an identifier of your business name. For domain name you have to register and pay for this service.
