 * will return the link to the registration through godaddy.com
 * You can change the server used to check domains availability and the site
 * from where buy the domain name by specifing them in the method call.
 * <code>
 * include_once('dchk.php');
 *
 * $free = new DCHK();
 * if($free->check_domain("example.com"))
 *     // domain available
 * else
 *     // Domain already registered!
 * </code>
 *
 * Example of use (2):
 * Form to check domain names
 * <code>
 * <?php
 * if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
 *     $domain = $_POST['domain'];
 *     $ext = $_POST['extension'];
 *     $full_name = $domain . '.' . $ext;
 *
 *     include_once('dchk.php');
 *
 *     $free = new DCHK();
 *     if($free->check_domain("example.com, , , 1")) // Prints the register link also
 * } else {
 *     <form>
 *         Check for a domain name:
 *         <input type="text" name="domain" />
 *         <select name="extension">
 *             <option value="com">.com</option>
