regex for url validation using jquery

I need to validate the url using regex. The valid formats that should be accepted are as follows:

users.kathir.com
www.kathir.com

I am currently using the following regex:

^[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-])+(.[a-z])

But it accepts www.google as the valid one, but it should accept either google.com or www.google.com only. Please suggest

The answer provided by user will also validate those regex in which there is no .com|edu|org etc at the end to make it more appropriate I have modify the regex which works fine for me and also want to share with you

var pattern = /^(http|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&/~\+#])+(.[a-z])?/;
var regex = new RegExp(pattern);
var website_url = $("#website_url").val();// url of the website
if (website_url.match(regex)) {
    return true
} else {
    return false;
}

I use this, works pretty well:

function checkUrl(url){
    return url.match(/(http|ftp|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&/~\+#])?/);
}

Hope that helps :)
