function getDomain(url, subdomain) {
    subdomain = subdomain || false;

    url = url.replace(/(https?:\/\/)?(www.)?/i, '');

    if (!subdomain) {
        url = url.split('.');

        url = url.slice(url.length - 2).join('.');
    }

    if (url.indexOf('/') !== -1) {
        return url.split('/')[0];
    }

    return url;
}

Examples

• getDomain('http://www.example.com'); // example.com
• getDomain('www.example.com'); // example.com
• getDomain('http://blog.example.com', true); // blog.example.com
• getDomain(location.href); // ..

Previous version was getting full domain (including subdomain). Now it determines the right domain depending on preference. So that when a 2nd argument is provided as true it will include the subdomain, otherwise it returns only the 'main domain'
