What it does

Pull the hostnames out of a small URL list without opening any of the links. Useful for reviewing referring sites, preparing a domain list, or separating website names from paths and tracking parameters. Subdomains are kept exactly as hostnames; this tool does not guess who owns a domain.

Useful when

  • Collect the sites in a backlink export.
  • Prepare a short list of domains to review.
  • Remove paths and repeated hostnames from a URL list.

How to use it

  1. Paste one URL or hostname per line.
  2. Extract the hostnames and review any rejected lines.
  3. Copy the unique list or download a text file.

A few useful details

Does it find the registered domain?

No. It returns full hostnames, retaining subdomains such as shop.example.co.uk. It does not use a public suffix list or turn hostnames into ownership claims.

What happens to international names?

The browser converts international domain names to their ASCII representation. Names are lowercased and a final DNS dot is removed before duplicate checking.

Are the sites visited?

No. Extraction happens in this tab. Use up to 100 non-empty lines and 32 KiB of text. IP addresses, local names, credentials, and unsupported URL schemes are rejected.
