Domain Extractor

What the Domain Extractor does

It pulls every URL and domain out of whatever you paste, strips protocols, paths, ports and www, removes duplicates and reduces each one to its root domain. It understands multi-part endings such as .co.uk, .org.uk and .com.au, so news.example.co.uk becomes example.co.uk, not co.uk.

Common uses

Turning a backlink export into a list of referring domains. Building an outreach list from a page of search results or a competitor’s links. Checking which sites in a list you already have links from. Preparing domains for a disavow file. Cleaning a messy spreadsheet column before importing it into another tool.

Root domain or full hostname?

Choose root domain when you want one entry per website, for example when counting referring domains or building an outreach list. Choose full hostname when subdomains matter, for example when shop.example.com and blog.example.com are run by different teams.

Shared platforms are kept at subdomain level

On platforms such as Blogspot, WordPress.com, GitHub Pages or Netlify, every subdomain is a different site owned by a different person. Reducing spamblog.blogspot.com to blogspot.com would merge thousands of unrelated blogs into one entry. The extractor treats these platforms like domain endings, so each blog stays separate.
