| | Finnish translation:PPG Base URL (palvelin) | Explanation:
Depends on the context, but generally I would use your suggestion (probably decapitalize "palvelin" though) since it looks like this is not a very widely used term, and I am almost certain that there is no established Finnish translation for "Push Proxy Gateway".
Depending on the amount of localization you want you could of course change "URL" to URL-osoite" or "verkko-osoite", I'm sure you already considered this though.
There is the possibility of translating "Push Proxy Gateway Server" to "Push Proxy -yhdyskäytäväpalvelin", so if you wanted you could say "Push Proxy -yhdyskäytäväpalvelimen Base URL-osoite". To be honest the simpler version (your suggestion) is probably better, especially if this text is in a program UI or similar.

Base URL could also be "perus-URL". Whether it should be used or not is a different thing though. If I used it then I'd probably add the English version in brackets. |
