Retrieve base URL as a custom field? [duplicate]

Question

I am trying to create an absolute path url so i can send to users via json:

So far i did it this way:

First, I created a static class with a static string:

public static class baseUrl
{
    public static string getBaseUrl(){
        return "http://myurl";
    }
}

Second, on the model, I created a custom column that concatenates the string and creates a new field with the full absolute path:

public string Image
   {
    get
    {
        return baseUrl.getBaseUrl()+"/images/" +Id+ "/content/" + Img;
    }
}

My question is if there is a way to get the base url instead of using a static string, so it will be automatically changed on different environments, or if there is a better way to achieve the desired result?

Use UrlHelper methods to do this work for you.
