What is the use of a ~ (tilde) in a URL?
I am using cPanel and have a link, including tilde. Why is the tilde there?
When we buy server space, but do not have DNS, or don't want to use it for development purposes, we use the like of http://serverip/~foldername
.
Actually, tilde '~'
represents the home directory. When you place a tilde in a URL, it will access from the home directory.
