DNS Check
dns_checkFast DNS-based domain existence check. Tests if a name is taken across many TLDs at once (faster than search, no pricing). Returns 'taken' (definitely registered) and 'candidates' (potentially available). Use this to narrow down before calling search for pricing. Use preset: 'extended' to check 30+ creative/exotic TLDs when basic ones are all taken.

| name | Yes | Domain name without TLD, e.g. 'myapp' | |
| tlds | No | TLDs to check, e.g. ['com', 'dev', 'ai', 'io']. Optional if preset is provided. | |
| preset | No | Use a curated TLD preset: 'basic' (10 common TLDs) or 'extended' (30+ including creative/exotic TLDs). Merged with explicit tlds if both provided. Defaults to 'basic' when tlds is omitted. |
