How to retrieve domain name via javascript?

Question

When I used the below script in www.example.com/about-us/user , it showed entire url

<script type="text/javascript">
     alert(document.URL);
</script>

I want to get only the domain name in here,say example.com .. Is there any javascript inbuilt function for retrieving domain name?
