For new gmail contacts, we often will find their website ourselves. Copying and pasting the Company domain name for the related company record doesn’t work because **Chrome always includes the https:// prefix** even if you carefully just select the domain name in the address bar.

For example, the URL in the address bar would be displayed as **[example.com/welcome.html](http://example.com/welcome.html)**. We carefully select just **[example.com](http://example.com)** then press Ctrl+C to copy it. Chrome will convert it to **[https://example.com](https://example.com)**. So we can’t just paste that into the HubSpot **Company domain name**. Furthermore, it’s not even visible because the entry box is narrow. You have to move your cursor all the way to the left to remove the https:// prefix.

**Please strip the https:// when validating a domain name for Company records. Thanks!!!**

Agreed. Also remove any trailing parts of a URL to become a valid domain (e.g. [https://somewebsite.com/en](https://somewebsite/en) becomes [somewebsite.com](http://somewebsite.com) (a valid domain)).  
Hubspot already validates the domain and complains about the characters that don’t belong, so it should be simple to remove them as a first pass and let the user make any further adjustments if needed.
