Frequently asked questions about autodata.dot

How do I know if merchant.pay is available when choosing merchant.pay?

Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.

Where can I pre-order autodata.dot to protect the NicNames name?

You can pre-order autodata.dot directly through domain.pay, with a standard pre-order fee of $100 and refunds on failed attempts. Securing autodata.dot this way puts the official autodata.dot payment name under NicNames's control. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

For loan repayments, who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

What TTL should I set for records on autodata.dot?

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

For crypto payments, how does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work?

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.

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.
