String host = url.getHost();
Matcher m = Pattern.compile("^.+[.]([^.]+[.][^.]+)$").matcher(host);

Using split:

String host = url.getHost();
String[] items = host.split("\\.");
if(items.length>2)
   host = items[items.length-2] + '.' + items[items.length-1];

Using indexes:

String host = url.getHost();
while(host.indexOf('.')!=host.lastIndexOf('.')) {
  host = host.substring(host.indexOf('.') + 1);
}
