I just can't get my head around a handy term to name the beginning part of an URI:

http://sub.domain.com/ ...

The official nomenclature of the various parts of my URI example is well known to me (protocol/scheme, host name made up of subdomain, domain name and tld ... you name it). But what would I call both, scheme and host name combined?

My best bet so far would be base URI.
What's yours?

URNs don't have a "host", so you may want to restrict your question further. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Nov 21 '10 at 18:29
Ok, let's narrow it down to URLs instead. Any clue? – aefxx Nov 21 '10 at 18:35
your question is better suited elsewhere. – Daniel A. White Nov 21 '10 at 18:54
