Frequently asked questions about curly.dot

For loan repayments, would settle.pay work as a payment brand?

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.

What MX priority values should I use for curly.dot?

Set the lowest number on your primary mail server's MX for curly.dot since lower priority is preferred, and use higher numbers for backups. Most providers give you the exact host and priority to enter for curly.dot. Mismatched priorities can misroute mail for curly.dot, so copy them precisely.

Is .PAY already open to everyone when choosing merchant.pay?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I migrate an existing site onto curly.dot without downtime?

Stand up the new site on curly.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on curly.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor curly.dot for crawl errors afterward.

Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for online checkout?

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.

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.
