Technically google.com is the domain
If I run your code, I get "www.google.com" as the output, not "google.com"
This poses an interesting problem because a domain can be:
one.two.three.four.google.co.uk
What is the domain for you in that?

Otherwise you could do something like
uri.host.sub(/.*?\.?([^.]+)(?:\.\w{3}|\.\w{2,3}\.\w{2,3})$/, '\1')

It may not be the prettiest regex but it gets the job done for the following:
  * one.two.google.com
  * one.two.google.co.in
  * www.somesite.com.au
  * www.one.co.uk
but it won't work for
  * www.one.com (but it will work for one.com)

If you are using a rails app then something similar to this can be done:

   In the application controller
           private

               def locate_subdomain

               end

                          domain = request.domain # for just the domain
name

                              subdomain = request.subdomain # for the
