Getting serverURL for api calls

I'm trying to get  the server url in apex code to pass it (and the sessionId) to a web service outside salesforce to make API calls. I've read this post and changedthe visualforce parameter to "$Api.Enterprise_Server_URL_180" but this is giving me the following url: https://c.na7.visual.force.com/services/Soap/c/18.0/{ORGId}.

 

There is no way I can access the api with that url, it should be something like:

https://na7-api.salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/18.0/{ORGId}

 

So is there a way to get the real serverURL? Or am I supposed to parse that first url to create the second one? (This wouldn't be very elegant).

 

Thanks in advance;

this is something that i found out while doing some research...havent implemented it...

apart from that  i faced the same issue earlier....i did it using both $API and ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().get('Host')

but i had to do the parsing to get the actual url...the reason is that i was trying to get the url from a visual force page, and when you load a page  its url is always given as c.instancename.visua.force.com/......
