Frequently asked questions about downlight.dot

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for an ecommerce brand?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Can I change the nameservers on downlight.dot without losing email?

Yes, if you recreate the MX (and SPF/DKIM/DMARC) records at the new DNS host before switching nameservers for downlight.dot. Identical records mean mail keeps flowing through the cutover of downlight.dot. Verify downlight.dot's email after the change by sending a test message.

As a checkout product manager, what does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Can downlight.dot support a multi-currency storefront?

Yes. A storefront serving several currencies can keep its pay page on downlight.dot regardless of the buyer's location. The neutral .PAY name reads as a payment surface in every market. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.
