The TLD proliferation makes it difficult to check domain names are valid. This project use the rules of publicsuffix.org a list of known public domain suffixes (TLD) to validate and split domains in the parts (tld, domain, subdomain). The validation rules are load direct from https://publicsuffix.org.

A domain name has 3 major parts:

TLD	Domain	Subdomain

org	wikipedia	www
ru	yandex	mail

Examples

Load data from web (publicsuffix.org)

var domainParser = new DomainParser(new WebTldRuleProvider());

var domainName = domainParser.Get("sub.test.co.uk");
//domainName.Domain = "test";
//domainName.Hostname = "sub.test.co.uk";
//domainName.RegistrableDomain = "test.co.uk";
//domainName.SubDomain = "sub";
//domainName.TLD = "co.uk";

Load data from web change cache config

var webTldRuleProvider = new WebTldRuleProvider(cacheProvider: new FileCacheProvider(cacheTimeToLive: new TimeSpan(10, 0, 0))); //cache data for 10 hours

var domainParser = new DomainParser(webTldRuleProvider);
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
	var isValid = webTldRuleProvider.CacheProvider.IsCacheValid();
	if (!isValid)
	{
		webTldRuleProvider.BuildAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult(); //Reload data
	}
	
	var domainInfo = domainParser.Get($"sub{i}.test.co.uk");
}

Load data from file

var domainParser = new DomainParser(new FileTldRuleProvider("effective_tld_names.dat"));

var domainName = domainParser.Get("sub.test.co.uk");
//domainName.Domain = "test";
//domainName.Hostname = "sub.test.co.uk";
//domainName.RegistrableDomain = "test.co.uk";
//domainName.SubDomain = "sub";
//domainName.TLD = "co.uk";
