For Example I have this string
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sample
What I want is to return only merriam-webster.com I'm planning to use .Replace() but I think there are better approach for this question.

If you are working for Winforms then
string url = "http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sample";
UriBuilder ub = new UriBuilder(url);
MessageBox.Show(ub.Host.Replace("www.",""));
and for web,

what if the url is something like this
http://www.merriam-websterwww.com/dictionary/sample ?How about this
System.Uri uri = new Uri("http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=something");
string uriHost = uri.Host;
?

Uri.Host still returns the www, but I think I will just use .Replace with that problem
You can use this:
var a = "http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sample";
var b = a.Split('.');
var c = b[1] +"."+ b[2].Remove(3);

Answers here don't handle the case like "http://abcwww.com". Check if the url starts with 'www.' before replacing it.
if (url.StartsWith("www.", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
url = url.Replace("www.", string.Empty);

can you explain how it will fail?

Ahh StackOverflow removed the http & www. from my original comment above. Was trying to say it fails for "http//www.merriam-websterwww.com/dictionary/sample". It returns merriam-webstercom. dotnetfiddle.net/DSAHnU.

I went for url = url.Remove(0,4);
You can leverage System.Uri class:
System.Uri uri = new Uri("https://www.google.com/search?q=something");
string uriWithoutScheme = uri.Host + uri.PathAndQuery + uri.Fragment;
Or you can use below:
UriBuilder ub = new UriBuilder("https://www.google.com/search?q=something");
currentValue = ub.Host.Replace("www.", "");

You can use Uri to get the beginning of the URL
string urlWithoutQueryString = new Uri("https://test.com/page?argument=value").GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Path);
