The invalid test URL is using the FTP protocol so your regex won’t work. Well it sort of does, but then the hostname is at index 2 edit: scratch that, the URL only has one / so it would be index 1

You can use the hostname property on the URL object you get back from the URL constructor.

new URL('ftp://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/need-help-url-shortner-microservice/501031').hostname
// 'forum.freecodecamp.org'
