Frequently asked questions about 18k.dot

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for point-of-sale payments?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Where can I see all .PAY names I might claim with my SMD, including 18k.dot?

You can browse and look up .PAY names, including 18k.dot, through NicNames's domain search to see which match your validated mark for a priority claim. Each eligible name needs its label to match your SMD-encoded mark. Explore the catalogue and check 18k.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

For fraud prevention, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

What TTL should I set for records on 18k.dot?

A TTL of 3600 seconds (one hour) is a reasonable default for stable records on 18k.dot, balancing fast updates against resolver load. Lower it to 300 before a planned migration of 18k.dot, then raise it again once things are stable. Very low TTLs increase query volume slightly.

As a retail brand, where can I see already-registered .PAY domains?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
