How to get absolute url in ASP.NET MVC?

Question

In my view I'm giving a URL out like this:

<td style="border-bottom: solid 1px #f3ad44" align="center">
    <a class="actions" href="<%= item.URL  %>">www...</a>
</td>

My problem is that item.URL has a value like: www.hello.com but when i click on it from webpage it navigates to http://localhost:64075/www.hello.com.

How can I avoid of using localhost, and actually navigate to http://www.hello.com?

Make sure to prefix the url with the proper protocol (such as http://), either inside item.URL or in the markup: [...] href="http://<%= item.URL %>">[...].

<td style="border-bottom: solid 1px #f3ad44" align="center">
     <a class="actions" href="#" onclick="window.open('http://<%= item.URL  %>'); return false;">www...</a> 
</td> 

<td style="border-bottom: solid 1px #f3ad44" align="center">
     <a class="actions" href="#" onclick="window.location='http://<%= item.URL  %>'; ">www...</a> 
</td>
