I've simplified your code for you and sped up your testing by using
the regular expression "test()" method
$(document).ready(function(){
$('input#domain').keyup(function(){
var domain = $(this).val();
var reg = /^([a-z0-9]+(\-?\.?[a-z0-9]*)){2,63}\.([a-z]){2,4}$/i ;
if (reg.test(domain)) {
$("#ok").html("Correct format ...");
} else {
$("#ok").html("Wrong format ...</p>");
}
});
});
