Have you ever pasted something from eg. the browser address bar to host just to get this?
$ host https://github.com/japsu/ohst
Host https://github.com/japsu/ohst not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
Enter ohst, a thin wrapper around host that turns URLs into hostnames!
$ ohst https://github.com/japsu/ohst
github.com has address 192.30.253.112
All parameters that are not understood by urllib.parse are passed verbatim:
$ ohst -t MX https://github.com/japsu/ohst
github.com mail is handled by 5 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com.
Also supports whois:
$ owhis https://github.com/japsu/ohst
# symlink
ln -sf $PWD/ohst.py /usr/local/bin/ohst
ln -sf $PWD/ohst.py /usr/local/bin/owhis
# or copy
install -m 755 ohst.py /usr/local/bin/ohst
install -m 755 ohst.py /usr/local/bin/owhis
