Frequently asked questions about drills.dot

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?

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.

Is drills.dot reserved for anyone during launch?

Some labels may be reserved by the registry, but most names like drills.dot pass through sunrise (for trademark holders) and general availability (for everyone). domain.pay can check drills.dot's status and queue it appropriately. Verify and pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for digital wallets?

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.

Why isn't drills.dot resolving even though I added the records?

If drills.dot won't resolve, first confirm the nameservers at your registrar match where the zone is actually hosted, then check for typos in the A or CNAME values. Cached TTLs or a missing apex record are common culprits. Verify with a DNS query tool, and review your settings under /domains.

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for BNPL checkout?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about 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.
