location.host vs location.hostname and cross-browser compatibility?
If you are insisting to use the window.location.origin
You can put this in top of your code before reading the origin
if (!window.location.origin) {
window.location.origin = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.hostname + (window.location.port ? ':' + window.location.port: '');
}

In short (assuming a location of http://example.org:8888/foo/bar#bang
):
hostname
gives youexample.org
host
gives youexample.org:8888
host just includes the port number if there is one specified. If there is no port number specifically in the URL, then it returns the same as hostname. You pick whether you care to match the port number or not. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/window.location for more info.
I would assume you want hostname to just get the site name.
Your primary question has been answered above. I just wanted to point out that the regex you're using has a bug. It will also succeed on foo-domain.com
which is not a subdomain of domain.com
What you really want is this:
/(^|\.)domain\.com$/
