Frequently asked questions about america.dot
What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for crypto payments?
Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
What is the difference between an A record and CNAME for america.dot?
An A record maps america.dot (or a subdomain) directly to an IP address, while a CNAME aliases a subdomain to another hostname. The apex of america.dot generally needs an A (or ALIAS) record, since classic CNAMEs aren't allowed at the root. Use CNAMEs for subdomains of america.dot.
Can I move a .PAY domain between registrars for online checkout?

Which factors should rank a name above america.dot?
Rank a name above america.dot on length, spelling simplicity, pronounceability, distinctiveness, and how clearly it conveys america.dot. domain.pay's discovery view lets you weigh these factors side by side. Compare on these factors at https://domain.pay/domains.
Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period when choosing wallet.pay?
