Frequently asked questions about aqa.dot

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for fraud prevention?

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.

How do I back up the DNS zone for aqa.dot?

Export the full zone file for aqa.dot from your DNS host, or record each record set, so you can restore quickly after a mistake or provider change. Keep the backup of aqa.dot's zone versioned and off the provider. Re-import it to rebuild aqa.dot if the zone is ever lost.

Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for point-of-sale payments?

Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.

How do I choose between aqa.dot and a coined alternative for trademarks?

For trademark strength, a coined alternative may protect more easily than the descriptive aqa.dot, though aqa.dot reads clearer for aqa.dot. domain.pay shows both so you can weigh protectability against clarity. Note that mark holders can claim TMCH SMD priority. Compare at https://domain.pay/domains.

How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help?

domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.

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.
