what is the use of "~" tilde in url?

  1. what is the use of ~ tilde in URL?

  2. I am using cPanel, and have link including tilde, why is 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 http://serverip/~foldername.

Solution

  • Actually tilde '~' represents home directory. When you place tilde in url, It will access from home directory
