description	Check domain name availability and pricing using the dn CLI. Use when the user wants to know if a domain is available, see domain pricing, or verify multiple domains at once. Supports both partner mode (Domain Services API) and user mode (WordPress.com API).

dn check

Check availability and pricing for one or more domain names.

Usage

# Check a single domain
dn check example.com

# Check multiple domains at once
dn check example.com example.net example.org

Output

Partner mode table columns: Domain, Available, Fee Class, Price, Zone Active, TLD Maintenance

User mode table columns: Domain, Available, Status, Cost, Privacy

Behavior by Mode

• Partner mode: Queries the Domain Services API. Returns pricing in dollars, fee class, zone/TLD status.
• User mode: Queries WPCOM rest/v1.3/domains/{domain}/is-available. Availability is based on status === "available" (string, not boolean).

Notes

• Accepts multiple domain arguments (space-separated)
• Requires prior dn configure setup
