Title Test Find Regular Expression to Extract Standard Domain Name
Expression
(http[s]?://)?([A-Za-z0-9-]\.)*(?<domainName>([A-Za-z0-9-]+\.)[A-Za-z]{2,3})/?.$
Description
This regular expression is designed just to extract the domain name from a URL. A domain name may neither start with nor end with a dash. I didn't take the time to add in this check and am actually not sure that it could be easily done. Try it for yourself to understand why.

The end of the regexp seems to be broken it says "/?.$" probably "/?.*$" was intended (which could then be shortened to ".*$")
