If I have a hostname such as: http://sample.example.com and in Javascript I do window.location.hostname, would I get example.com or sample.example.com?

If not, how would I be able to get sample.example.com?

Yes, window.location.hostname will give you subdomains as well. If this isn't working, or isn't supported by some other browser, you could quite easily parse for it:

// window.location.href == http://sample.somedomain.com/somedir/somepage.html

var domain = /://([^/]+)/.exec(window.location.href)[1];
