A backslash (one word, no hyphen) is used on Windows to indicate folder levels in a path to a file.

A forward slash (not one word) is used in internet addresses (and in Unix paths).

So, If you hear a website address being read out as "dot com backslash [something]" do not type that - use a forward slash (the one near the shift key; the one that leans forward)
