You and I, on a Quest for Domain Names: A jQuery Jaunt
Ah, the domain name. The internet's answer to that fancy plot of land you never quite afforded. But fear not, intrepid adventurer! Because today, we're not just spelunking the digital landscape, we're unearthing the secrets of snagging that perfect domain name with our trusty companion: jQuery!
How To Get Domain In Jquery |
First things First: Dissecting the Domain
Before we unleash our jQuery wrangling skills, let's understand what we're wrangling. A domain name, like "[invalid URL removed]," has two main parts:
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.![]()
- The juicy bit: This is the actual name, the one that trips off the tongue and gets remembered (hopefully for good reasons!).
- The not-so-juicy bit (but still important): This is the domain extension, the .com, .net, or the fancy new ones like .pizza (because, let's face it, who doesn't love pizza?).
Now, jQuery can't exactly help you brainstorm the perfect name (although wouldn't that be a trip?). But what it can do is help you fish out the domain name from a URL you already have.

Hook, Line, and Sinker: Extracting the Domain with jQuery
Here's where things get exciting. Buckle up, because we're about to craft some magic with jQuery:
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.![]()
$(document).ready(function() {
// This variable holds the URL we want to dissect
var myURL = "https://www.supercoolapp.com/about-us";
// Here comes the jQuery magic!
var domainName = new URL(myURL).hostname;
// Now you can play with the extracted domainName!
alert("Avast, ye scurvy dogs! I have unearthed the domain: " + domainName);
});
Explanation time! We're using the new URL()
constructor to create a URL object from our myURL
variable. Then, we use the .hostname
property to snag that sweet domain name. And voila! We've got it!

**Bonus Round: **Feeling fancy? You can also use .protocol
to get the http/https, and .pathname
to grab the specific path within the URL (like the "/about-us" in our example).
So You Have the Domain... Now What?
Well, that my friend, is a story for another day. But for now, you've successfully wielded the power of jQuery to unearth that hidden domain name. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility...use your newfound knowledge wisely (and maybe build a website so awesome it deserves that stellar domain name!).
