Frequently asked questions about direkt.dot

For loan repayments, how does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work?

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.

Does direkt.dot require a separate account to upload my SMD?

You complete the SMD upload for direkt.dot within the NicNames registration flow, which guides you through providing the file and your details. The trademark-priority step for direkt.dot happens in that same flow rather than a separate portal. Begin and upload your SMD at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for a remittance app?

.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.

Does direkt.dot support IPv6 with AAAA records?

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

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for loan repayments?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

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.
