Frequently asked questions about certi.dot

Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for mobile money?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

How do I set up a wildcard certificate for *.certi.dot?

Request a wildcard certificate covering *.certi.dot, which most CAs issue via DNS validation by checking a TXT record on certi.dot. A wildcard then secures every subdomain of certi.dot with one cert. Remember the wildcard for certi.dot does not cover the bare apex, so include it explicitly.

For digital wallets, 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.

Will certi.dot resolve internationally without extra setup?

Yes. Once registered with proper nameservers, certi.dot resolves worldwide through the global DNS without per-country configuration. To speed delivery abroad, put certi.dot behind a CDN with edge locations near your users. The resolution of certi.dot itself is global by default.

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now when choosing donate.pay?

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.

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.
