Frequently asked questions about backup.dot

How do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark for mobile money?

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.

Can backup.dot anchor a rewards top-up flow?

Yes. When customers add funds to a rewards or gift balance, backup.dot gives them a payment-native address that feels safe. Keeping top-ups on a .PAY name reinforces it as the official place to pay. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark for fraud prevention?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

Can I use a CDN like Cloudflare in front of backup.dot?

Yes. Point backup.dot's nameservers (or a CNAME) at the CDN, and it will cache content, terminate SSL, and absorb traffic spikes for backup.dot. A CDN improves load times and resilience without changing your origin server. Configure the records for backup.dot as the CDN instructs.

Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names for a bank or credit union?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

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.
