I don't like https/to/dev/ben/post because it removes the at-a-glance organization of why URLs are structured that way.

However, that said, I would reverse domain names and prefer https:/to.dev/ben/post

The parts of a URI are immediately identifiable from just looking at them.

  • Scheme: Application-layer communication protocol we are using
  • Host: Location of the server we are contacting
  • Path/Query: The document/page we are requesting
