class Solution {
public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // URI  object
        URI uri = null;

        try {
            // create a URI
            uri = new URI("https://www.geeksforgeeks.org");

            // get the Host
            String host = uri.getHost();

            // display the URI
            System.out.println("URI = " + uri);

            // display the Host
            System.out.println("Host = " + host);
        }
        // if any error occurs
        catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            // display the error
            System.out.println("URI Exception =" + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Output:

URI = https://www.geeksforgeeks.org
Host = www.geeksforgeeks.org

Example 2: The difference between getAuthority() and getHost() function is that getAuthority() returns the host along with the port but getHost() returns only the host name.

// Java program to show the
// use of the function getHost()

import java.net.*;

class Solution {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // url  object
        URI uri = null;

        try {
            // create a URI
            uri = new URI("https://www.geeksforgeeks.org:80");

            // get the Authority
            String authority = uri.getAuthority();

            // get the Host
            String host = uri.getHost();

            // display the URI
            System.out.println("URI = " + uri);

            // display the Authority
            System.out.println("Authority = " + authority);

            // display the Host
            System.out.println("Host = " + host);
        }
        // if any error occurs
        catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            // display the error
            System.out.println("URI Exception =" + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Output:

URI = https://www.geeksforgeeks.org:80
Authority = www.geeksforgeeks.org:80
Host = www.geeksforgeeks.org
