```

### Check Domain Validity

[](#check-domain-validity)

Verifies if the email's domain exists.

```
$email = "example@test.com"; // '@test.com' is not a valid domain

$isValidDomain = $inspector->hasValidDomain($email);

echo $isValidDomain ? "Domain is valid" : "Domain is not valid";
// Output: "Domain is not valid"
