Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
Syntax
const host = url.host
url.host = newHost
Value
A USVString.
Examples
let url = new URL('/docs/Web/API/URL/host');
console.log(url.host); // "developer.mozilla.org"
url = new URL('https://developer.mozilla.org:443/docs/Web/API/URL/host');
console.log(url.host); // "developer.mozilla.org"
// The port number is not included because 443 is the scheme's default port
