Comment(by Chionsas):
'''There is no good way of getting a domain name from the hostname.'''
Period.
Browsers do this by checking against "effective tld names" (aka "public
suffixes"). [http://publicsuffix.org There's a project by Mozilla for
that] ([http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-
central/source/netwerk/dns/effective_tld_names.dat?raw=1 direct link to
the list]).
There are numerous implementations using the publicsuffix.org's list
(Python module: [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/publicsuffix]), but IMHO that
would be overkill.
'''I suggest removing this feature altogether and always displaying the
full hostname.'''
There are no good alternatives short of checking the DNS (again,
''overkill'').
Current code is buggy as hell (it would fail at the most basic
{{{DOMAIN.edu.au}}}, not even going into {{{DOMAIN.pvt.k12.ma.us}}}
territory).
