Frequently asked questions about defa.dot

For loan repayments, can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day?

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.

Does defa.dot support IPv6 with AAAA records?

Yes. You can publish AAAA records for defa.dot pointing at your IPv6 addresses alongside the IPv4 A records. Dual-stack DNS on defa.dot lets IPv6-only clients reach your site directly. Add the AAAA values in your DNS panel just like A records.

For crypto payments, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

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.

Can defa.dot have a higher first-year fee than renewal?

For standard labels, the first-year and renewal fees for defa.dot are aligned. Premium defa.dot names typically carry the same premium fee at registration and renewal, set by the registry. Confirm both figures for defa.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain when choosing loans.pay?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

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.
