If I have a hostname such as: http://sample.example.com and in Javascript I do window.location.hostname, would I get "example.com" or "sample.example.com"?
If not, how would I be able to get sample.example.com?

Definition and Usage The origin property returns the protocol, hostname and port number of a URL.
window.location.href returns the href (URL) of the current page. window.location.hostname returns the domain name of the web host. window.location.pathname returns the path and filename of the current page.
To recap, a subdomain is the portion of a URL that comes before the “main” domain name and the domain extension. For example, docs.themeisle.com . Subdomains can help you divide your website into logical parts or create separate sites, for example a separate blog for each sports team.
Yes, window.location.hostname will give you subdomains as well. If this isn't working, or isn't supported by some other browser, you could quite easily parse for it:
// window.location.href == "http://sample.somedomain.com/somedir/somepage.html" var domain = /:\/\/([^\/]+)/.exec(window.location.href)[1]; It can be done as below:
var subdomain = window.location.host.split('.')[1] ? window.location.host.split('.')[0] : false; If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
