Frequently asked questions about crit.dot

Can I reserve brand.pay before broader registration opens for digital wallets?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

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

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

What does the .PAY ending signal to customers using point-of-sale payments?

.PAY signals that the destination is connected to payment action, such as point-of-sale payments. That can support clarity and trust when paired with strong security and branding. Check or pre-order the name at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Are there eligibility differences for premium crit.dot names?

Premium crit.dot names follow the same .PAY eligibility and validation expectations as standard names; the difference is usually pricing rather than who may register. The registry's payment-related focus still applies. domain.pay shows premium status and pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For BNPL checkout, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

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.
