Domain Separator — Clean Domain Lists from Messy Text guide

Paste messy text — full URLs, lists, emails, prose — and get back a clean list of domain names: sorted, deduplicated, one per line, ready to copy or download.

How to use this tool

  1. Paste your raw text into the input box — an exported spreadsheet column, a block of URLs, a paragraph of prose, anything. The separator scans it as you type.
  2. Set your options: strip the www. prefix, force lowercase, remove duplicates and sort A–Z. Most lists want all four switched on.
  3. Read the cleaned list and its count in the output box. Copy it, or download it as a .txt file with one domain per line.

A worked example

Feed it "https://www.Example.com/pricing, sales@Example.com, blog.example.com, http://example.com" and, with all options on, you get exactly two lines back — blog.example.com and example.com. The www. version, the email address and the bare URL all collapse into the same deduplicated hostname.

How it works

The input is split on whitespace and common separators, then each fragment is stripped of its protocol, path, port and trailing punctuation. Whatever remains is tested against the shape of a real hostname — labels of letters, digits and hyphens separated by dots, ending in a valid-looking top-level domain — before it is accepted. Fragments that are not hostnames (ordinary words, prices, dates) are discarded. Everything runs in your browser; the text is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a domain here?

A hostname: one or more labels separated by dots, such as example.com or shop.example.co.uk, optionally with subdomains. Full URLs, email addresses and hosts with ports or paths are reduced to their hostname automatically.

Why strip the www. prefix?

www.example.com and example.com are almost always the same site, so lists usually count and contact them once. Turn the option off if you specifically need to distinguish hosts.

Can it separate domains from an Excel or CSV file?

Yes — copy the cells and paste them in. Columns, commas and line breaks are all treated as separators. The download gives you a plain .txt list back.

Does it check whether the domains are alive?

No — it cleans the list, it does not visit the domains. To test a specific address, use our HTTP Status & Redirect Checker.

Is my pasted text uploaded?

No. Extraction runs entirely in your browser, so client lists and internal hostnames stay on your device.
