regular expression to get the domain name in javascript?

I am having a problem with regular expression for getting the main domain name from a url. that is if i am having urls as given below..

http://domain.com/return/java.php?hello.asp
http://www.domain.com/return/java.php?hello.asp
http://blog.domain.net/return/java.php?hello.asp
http://us.blog.domain.co.us/return/java.php?hello.asp
http://domain.co.uk
http://domain.net
http://www.blog.domain.co.ca/return/java.php?hello.asp
http://us.domain.com/return/

from all this I should only get domain as the output of the regular expression.. so how do i do it? i used;

var url = urls.match(/[^.]*.(com|net|org|info|coop|int|co\.uk|org\.uk|ac\.uk|uk)/g);

but it does not work for 

  http://domain.net

so can someone help me out with this.

Here is a solution changing the regex a bit:

url.match(/https?:\/\/[^/]+((?=\/)|$)/g);
//tested with Chrome 38+ on Win7

Basiclly checking for slash / or string end $

Update replaced jsFiddle link with inline Stackoverflow-Code:

var urls = ['http://domain.com/return/java.php?hello.asp',
  'http://www.domain.com/return/java.php?hello.asp',
  'http://blog.domain.net/return/java.php?hello.asp',
  'http://us.blog.domain.co.us/return/java.php?hello.asp',
  'http://domain.co.uk',
  'http://domain.net',
  'http://www.blog.domain.co.ca/return/java.php?hello.asp',
  'http://us.domain.com/return/'
];

var htmlConsole = document.getElementById("result");
var htmlTab = "    ";
var htmlNewLine = "<br />";

htmlConsole.innerHTML = "";
for (var id in urls) {

  htmlConsole.innerHTML += "URL: " + urls[id] + htmlNewLine;

  var matchResults = urls[id].match(/https?:\/\/[^/]+((?=\/)|$)/g);

  for (var innerIdx in matchResults) {
    htmlConsole.innerHTML += htmlTab + "MatchNumber: " + innerIdx + " MatchValue: " + matchResults[innerIdx] + htmlNewLine;
  }

  htmlConsole.innerHTML += htmlNewLine;

}
<div id="result">
</div>

var url = urls.match(/[^./]*.(com|net|org|info|coop|int|co\.uk|co\.us|co\.ca|org\.uk|ac\.uk|uk)/g);

just added a / and updated the list of top-level domains to match your examples.
Although I do not recommend to keep the list of top-level domains within a regexp. it's just too many. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains

You can use URL rather than regex

var url  = new URL("http://domain.com/return/java.php?hello.asp");
console.log(url.hostname);
=> domain.com

OR

If you want the protocol as well

var url  = new URL("http://domain.com/return/java.php?hello.asp");
console.log(url.protocol+"//"+url.hostname);
= > http://domain.com
