Do we need two different names for this?

Searching the internet, I see "hight level domain" being mostly used as a synonym to "top level domain", if used at all.

Terminology is important, I agree. I am concerned about calling these both hosts and domains, and also calling them both top level domains and high level domains.

I don’t think this convenience function improves things much. If we only have a few call sites, then I think topPrivatelyControlledDomain(location.host()) would be fine at the call sites.

Please don’t mix this in with functions that just return pieces of the URL. This is a higher level operation and should be in its own paragraph below or with other similarly high level functions.
