Get website-level configuration in Magento

I stumbled across this one a couple of times now, and it’s caught me out every time.

With Magento, you have the method Mage::getStoreConfig() to get a store-level config, but nothing obvious to get a website-level configuration (such as a default URL for the website).

So I used this;

Mage::app()->getWebsite($websiteId)->getConfig('web/unsecure/base_url')

It’s the same syntax as what’s used in Mage::getStoreConfig(), but uses getWebsite() instead of getStore(). Hopefully this won’t catch me out anymore!
