Frequently asked questions about distinguish.dot

How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup?

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.

Is distinguish.dot cheaper if I skip VIP handling?

Yes, skipping VIP priority handling lowers your total for distinguish.dot to just the registration rate, $100 standard or the premium distinguish.dot fee, plus taxes. You trade queue speed for the lower outlay on distinguish.dot. Compare both totals at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I use .PAY for redirects to my existing checkout for payroll disbursements?

Yes, you can use a .PAY domain as a clean branded entry point or redirect to an existing checkout, but implement redirects, SSL and tracking carefully. First secure or pre-order the label through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I interpret a premium price shown for distinguish.dot?

A premium price on distinguish.dot is the registry's wholesale figure for distinguish.dot from Amazon Registry Services, displayed instead of the standard fee, and it applies because of distinguish.dot's classification. It can change over time. Review what the distinguish.dot figure means at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my mobile money project?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For mobile money, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

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.
