Frequently asked questions about cxn.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for crypto payments?

.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.

What DNS records do I need to point cxn.dot at my website?

To serve a site on cxn.dot you typically add an A record (and AAAA for IPv6) pointing the apex to your host's IP, plus a CNAME for the www subdomain. Set these in your DNS panel after registering cxn.dot, then allow propagation to finish before testing. You can start the process at https://domain.pay/register.

For mobile money, how do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark?

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.

How do I transfer cxn.dot to another registrar later?

To transfer cxn.dot out, unlock it, obtain the authorization (EPP) code, and submit a transfer request at the gaining registrar. cxn.dot must usually be at least 60 days old and not recently transferred. The new registrar walks you through approving the move of cxn.dot.

Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my crypto payments project?

For crypto payments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
