Retrieve salesforce instance instead of visualforce instance

From a visualforce page, I need to retrieve our organization's salesforce instance's URL, and not the visual force URL.

 

For example I need https://cs1.salesforce.com instead of https://c.cs1.visual.force.com

 

Here's what I've tried so far and the outcome I got:

 

  1. Accessed the Site global variable from the VF Page .

    <apex:outputText value="{!$Site.Domain}" /> returns null

    Sidenote: Everything in $Site.xxx seems to return null.

  2. From the Apex controller

     public String getSfInstance()
 {
 return ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().get('Host');
 }

     public String getSfInstance()
 {
 return URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm();
 }

     

    returns c.cs1.visual.force.com and https://c.cs1.visual.force.com, respectively.

     

    Question: How do I retrieve the right instance: https://cs1.salesforce.com?
