Get the host name from url without www or extension in asp.net

Question

Hello i need a way to find out the host part of an url , i've tried

Request.Url.Host.Split('.')

but it doesn't work with url like this:

sub.sub.domain.com

or

www.domain.co.uk

since you can have a variable number of dots before and after the domain

i need to get only "domain"

Check out the second answer at Get just the domain name from a URL?

I checked the pastebin link; it's active. I didn't test the code myself, but if it outputs as he describes, you can .split() from there.

I should also mention for clarity: in the case of www.domain.co.uk, domain.co.uk IS the full domain. – Russell Uhl May 24 '13 at 13:26

If you need to be totally flexibel, you need to make a list of all possible top-level-domains, and try to remove those, with dot, from the end of your string, resulting in

www.domain

or

sub.sub.domain

Then take the last characters after the last dot.
