I am trying to use the following regular expression for validating the domain name and TLD (currently not validating the IDN domain names) but everytime I validate, I get false result.

/**
 * This regular expression allows multiple levels of subdomains followed by a domain and then the tld 
 * This regex will not allow www.||http://||https:// at the beginning of the string
 * Only uppercase/lowercase alphabets, numbers and hyphen are allowed for subdomain or domain and uppercase/lowercase alphabets, numbers for tld. The tld cannot begin with the number 
 * The length of the domain or subdomain can be between 1 and 63 characters and for tld it can be 2 to 63 characters
 * Total length of domain name should not exceed 256 characters
 * 
 * @param domainName - String value for domain that needs to be validated
 * @return true if domain name matches with the regex pattern else false
 */
public static boolean isValidDomainName(String domainName) {
    if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(domainName) && (domainName.trim().length() <= 256)) {
        return Pattern.compile("^(?!https?://|www\\.)[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9\\-]{0,62}+\\.([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]{1,62}){1,2})$").matcher(domainName.trim()).find();
    }
    else {
        return false;
    }
}

Here's the list of input values used -

www.google.com
https://www.google.com
.google.com
a.a
-testdomain.google.com
testdomain.a.a
5ubd0m41n.T35t-d0m41n.testtopleveldomain
google.com
subd0m41n.T35t-d0m41n.testtopleveldomain

Any help would be highly appreciated?

I tried to use your regex, but it appears to have an extra closing parentheses (or lacking an opening one).

^(?!(?:https?:\/\/)?www\.)[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,62}(?:\.[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,62})+$
Slashes escaped:^(?!(?:https?:\\/\\/)?www\\.)[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,62}(?:\\.[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,62})+$

Explanation:

 ^                           # Anchors to the beginning to the string.
 (?!                         # Opens NLA
     (?:                     # Opens NCG
         https?              # Literal https
         :                   # Literal :
         \/                  # Literal /
         \/                  # Literal /
     )?                      # Closes NCG
     www                     # Literal www
     \.                      # Literal .
 )                           # Closes NLA
 [a-z0-9]                    # Character class (any of the characters within)
 [a-z0-9-]{0,62}             # Character class (any of the characters within)
 (?:                         # Opens NCG
     \.                      # Literal .
     [a-z0-9]                # Character class (any of the characters within)
     [a-z0-9-]{0,62}         # Character class (any of the characters within)
 )+                          # Closes NCG
 $                           # Anchors to the end to the string.
