Frequently asked questions about americans.dot
What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain for fraud prevention?
.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.
How do I migrate an existing site onto americans.dot without downtime?
Stand up the new site on americans.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on americans.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor americans.dot for crawl errors afterward.
For digital wallets, can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
Can I pre-order americans.dot without paying right away?
To reserve your place in line for americans.dot, the standard pre-order fee of $100 is collected at checkout, and it is refundable if the attempt to register americans.dot fails per the stated policy. This confirms your queued request. Begin checkout for americans.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for loan repayments?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
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.
