I have edited for you:

function getHost($Address) { 
    $parseUrl = parse_url(trim($Address));
    $host = trim($parseUrl['host'] ? $parseUrl['host'] : array_shift(explode('/', $parseUrl['path'], 2))); 

    $parts = explode( '.', $host );
    $num_parts = count($parts);

    if ($parts[0] == "www") {
        for ($i=1; $i < $num_parts; $i++) { 
            $h .= $parts[$i] . '.';
        }
    }else {
        for ($i=0; $i < $num_parts; $i++) { 
            $h .= $parts[$i] . '.';
        }
    }
    return substr($h,0,-1);
}

All type url (www.domain.ltd, sub1.subn.domain.ltd will result to : domain.ltd.
