How can you check whether domain exists or not in Java?

Question

Suppose my email address is xyz@yahoo.com and I want to check if yahoo.com is a valid domain or not.

Can anyone tell me which Java API I ca

Answer 1

One thing that you could do is trying to resolve "yahoo.com". Something like this:

public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException {
    InetAddress inetAddress = InetAddress.getByName("yahoo.com");
    System.out.println(inetAddress.getHostName());
    System.out.println(inetAddress.getHostAddress());
}

which outputs:

yahoo.com
67.195.160.76
