Frequently asked questions about down.dot

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for a remittance app?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

When does down.dot expire and how do renewals work?

A registered down.dot renews annually, and you keep it as long as you renew before the expiry date. We recommend enabling auto-renew so down.dot never lapses by accident. You can review the renewal date and billing for down.dot and see current terms at /pricing.

What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain for BNPL checkout?

.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.

Will down.dot be cheaper during general availability?

Pricing for down.dot follows the registry and registrar schedule, not the phase, so general availability is not a discount window. The listed pre-order is $100, with failed attempts refundable per policy. See current rates at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I use nameservers and DNS like other domains with .PAY for an insurance billing portal?

After registration, plan DNS, SSL, redirects, security monitoring and payment-page controls as you would for a production domain. Start by securing the .PAY name through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. A domain alone does not make a checkout secure.

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.
