Frequently asked questions about cov.dot

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for mobile money?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What TTL should I set for records on cov.dot?

A TTL of 3600 seconds (one hour) is a reasonable default for stable records on cov.dot, balancing fast updates against resolver load. Lower it to 300 before a planned migration of cov.dot, then raise it again once things are stable. Very low TTLs increase query volume slightly.

For online checkout, can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark?

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 does cov.dot build trust with customers?

Because .PAY is a purpose-built, registry-controlled namespace from Amazon Registry Services, a consistent suffix like cov.dot feels intentional rather than improvised. Customers see a clear payment address tied to cov.dot. Clarity at checkout supports confidence in the transaction.

Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY for a brand-protection manager?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

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.
