I only want "demotest" portion from above URL (using jquery and JavaScript )

Answer 1

You could use this regular expression:

\.([^.]+)\.[^.]+$

Or you could split:

var domain = window.location.hostname.split('.');
console.log(domain[domain.length - 2]);

Answer 2

Try using split,

urlParts = window.location.hostname.split('.');
urlParts[urlParts.length-1]

Answer 3

Try window.location.hostname.split('.')[0]

Answer 4

Split it by "." like so:

var str = "www.demotest.com"
var arrStr = str.split(".");

Then what you want will be at index 1 - arrStr[1]
