I've just realised that using the domain name is possibly not the best idea either, since some domain names are rather long, so we'd not actually be solving the problem of URLs stretching across the page.

I thought of that, but decided it might look a bit wrong in the middle of a list of key: value pairs to suddenly have something that's just a key:
In similar situations recently, I've decided to display a limited length chunk of the URL, or all of it if it's short. So it would look like
* Website: http://this-url-is-really-long.com/and-it...
or
* Website: http://quiteshortsite.com/
Both are of course working hyperlinks.
Does this sound like a reasonable compromise?
