codex:
[[LINK href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/home_url"]]http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/home_url[[/LINK]]
Samples:
echo home_url();
// Output: http://www.example.com
echo home_url('/');
// : http://www.example.com/
echo home_url($path = '/', $scheme = https);
// Output: https://www.example.com/
echo home_url($path = 'example', $scheme = relative);
// Output: /example
for security, you need add sanitizing URLs: esc_url (like Arnav Joy said.)
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/esc_url
echo esc_url(home_url());

another samples:
echo home_url('path-to-page');
// Output : http://www.example.com/path-to-page
//or else, with same output
echo home_url('/path-to-page');
// Output : http://www.example.com/path-to-page
