interface is a string containing the host, that is the
hostname, and then, if the port of the URL is nonempty, a
':', and the port of the URL.

Examples
js
const anchor = document.createElement("a");
anchor.href = "https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Location.host";
console.log(anchor.host === "developer.mozilla.org");
anchor.href = "https://developer.mozilla.org:443/en-US/Location.host";
console.log(anchor.host === "developer.mozilla.org");
// The port number is not included because 443 is the scheme's default port
anchor.href = "https://developer.mozilla.org:4097/en-US/Location.host";
console.log(anchor.host === "developer.mozilla.org:4097");
