Relating this to your subject title, URIs are not URLs.  You can't 
really "verify" a URI, they're just strings.

Why?  Just send info to the host name.  If it gets there it's correct. 
Otherwise send an error message to the user.

Plus URLs may be relative.  There might be no TLD in the string at all.

What makes you think this information is important?  Why would you care? 
  Just use the hostname as given.
