Frequently asked questions about dgs.dot

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for loan repayments?

A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For loan repayments, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.

How do I set up a 404 and proper status codes on dgs.dot?

Configure dgs.dot to return a real 404 for missing pages and 200 for live ones, never a 'soft 404' that returns 200 on an error page. Correct status codes help crawlers index dgs.dot accurately. Use a helpful 404 page on dgs.dot with links back to key sections.

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal for crypto payments?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

Are .PAY pre-orders for dgs.dot refundable?

Pre-order attempts that fail are refundable for dgs.dot under our stated refund policy. A successful registration is generally non-refundable because the registry has allocated the name. Read the policy before pre-ordering dgs.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For fraud prevention, what are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
