Frequently asked questions about caress.dot
What should I know about Amazon Registry and .PAY before registering for digital wallets?
Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A retail brand can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.
Can I lock caress.dot to specific certificate authorities only?
Yes, via a CAA record you restrict which CAs may issue certificates for caress.dot, reducing mis-issuance risk. List each authorized CA's identifier for caress.dot in DNS. Combine the CAA on caress.dot with monitoring of Certificate Transparency logs for full coverage.
Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for fraud prevention?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
What is the difference between a registrar and the registry for caress.dot?
The registry, Amazon Registry Services, runs .PAY and sets caress.dot's premium, reserved, or blocked status; domain.pay is the registrar where you actually look up and register caress.dot. You interact with us, but the registry sets the rules. Check caress.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.
What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for digital wallets?
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.
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.
