Trim URL to Domain
Paste full URLs and the trimmer returns only the hostname of each, dropping the protocol, the www prefix, paths and query strings. Ideal for building a domain list from a crawl export.
Step by step
- Paste one URL per line. Invalid entries are skipped.
- Click Trim to Domain.
- Check the counters for input URLs and output domains.
- Copy the domain list into your dedupe, WHOIS or DNS workflow.
Tips for better results
- Feed the result into Remove Duplicate Entries — many URLs usually collapse into a handful of domains.
- This helper strips the www prefix for consistency. Use Trim URL to Root when you need the exact host visitors type.
- Enrich the list with the Bulk Nameserver Extractor or Whois Scraper report.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a domain and a root URL?
The domain is the hostname only, for example example.com. The root keeps the scheme as well, for example https://example.com. This tool returns the hostname.
Are subdomains kept?
Yes. blog.example.com stays as blog.example.com; only a leading www. is removed.
Why is one of my URLs missing from the output?
Entries that are not valid URLs are skipped. Add a scheme such as https:// so every line parses.
