Frequently asked questions about dist.dot
For digital wallets, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
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.
Are there setup or activation fees for dist.dot?
There are no separate setup or activation fees for dist.dot; your cost is the annual registration rate, $100 standard or the premium dist.dot fee, plus any optional VIP handling and applicable taxes. Everything is itemized for dist.dot before checkout. See it at https://domain.pay/pricing.
How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration when choosing bank.pay?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
How do I set up HTTPS and an SSL certificate on dist.dot?
Point dist.dot at your server via DNS first, then issue a certificate from a CA such as Let's Encrypt or your hosting provider's automated tool. Most platforms validate ownership of dist.dot over HTTP or DNS and renew automatically. Once installed, force all traffic to HTTPS with a redirect.
Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 when choosing donate.pay?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
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.
