Frequently asked questions about cems.dot

Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names for crypto payments?

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.

What is the difference between an A record and CNAME for cems.dot?

An A record maps cems.dot (or a subdomain) directly to an IP address, while a CNAME aliases a subdomain to another hostname. The apex of cems.dot generally needs an A (or ALIAS) record, since classic CNAMEs aren't allowed at the root. Use CNAMEs for subdomains of cems.dot.

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for digital wallets?

A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For digital wallets, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.

Does Amazon set the price I pay for cems.dot?

Amazon Registry Services, the .PAY operator, sets the underlying tier for cems.dot: the $100 standard rate or a higher premium fee for cems.dot. We display that registry price plus any optional services. Confirm the registry-driven price for cems.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for crypto payments?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

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.
