Frequently asked questions about checkpoint.dot

What .PAY name should a payroll platform consider for a payroll platform?

settle.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

Which DNS record type connects checkpoint.dot to a load balancer?

Cloud load balancers are usually referenced by hostname, so you point the apex of checkpoint.dot using an ALIAS/ANAME record (or a CNAME on a subdomain) at the balancer's DNS name. This lets the balancer's IPs change without breaking checkpoint.dot. Your provider documents the exact target.

For crypto payments, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?

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.

How do I avoid losing checkpoint.dot to a different trademark holder?

To reduce the risk of losing checkpoint.dot, record your checkpoint.dot mark in the TMCH and submit your SMD as soon as the priority phase opens. If another validated holder also claims checkpoint.dot, the registry's rules decide, so acting promptly matters. Prepare your SMD-backed claim at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission when choosing wallet.pay?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY 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.
