Extract Server name from URL string.

Question

_{Monday, July 21, 2014 2:26 AM}

Hi,

Which is the best way to extract the server name text from a given URL?

For example
http://forums.asp.net/  I want to get the text "forums.asp" in C#.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx, I want to get the text "msdn.microsoft" in C#.

Can someone suggest the best way to remove the protocol, www, domain such as .com, .net etc and get the name of the website from the URL text?

Thanks

Try using the following method to get the server name :

Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_NAME"]

Note:- "SERVER_NAME" key is used to get the server's host name, DNS alias, or IP address as it would appear in self-referencing URLs.
