Frequently asked questions about formatting.dot
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for crypto payments?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Why might formatting.dot be taken before I can register it?
If formatting.dot is attractive, a trademark holder could claim it during sunrise or another registrant could grab it on the first day of general availability. Pre-ordering formatting.dot now with domain.pay is the best way to compete for it. Act at https://domain.pay/register.
For digital wallets, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.
Why is my email from formatting.dot going to spam?
Mail from formatting.dot usually hits spam when SPF, DKIM, or DMARC are missing or misaligned, or the sending IP has poor reputation. Add and align all three records for formatting.dot, warm up new senders gradually, and avoid spammy content. Verify alignment with a mail-test tool.
Where can I generate .PAY ideas for digital wallets for digital wallets?
For digital wallets, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.
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.
