Hey Ren,

Thanks for reporting this. It's actually the "ph" part that's messing with the regex. If you try "www" instead it will work.

I'm marking this as new though since it's confusing for many reps.

Thanks, Giorgos. Yeah, I didn't know that the PH can simply be replaced by WWW. I'll go put it on my profile now.
