Frequently asked questions about government.dot

For crypto payments, what is the quickest path to secure a .PAY domain for a payroll platform?

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.

Does government.dot support IPv6 with AAAA records?

Yes. You can publish AAAA records for government.dot pointing at your IPv6 addresses alongside the IPv4 A records. Dual-stack DNS on government.dot lets IPv6-only clients reach your site directly. Add the AAAA values in your DNS panel just like A records.

For payroll disbursements, can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day?

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.

Why might sunrise end before I register government.dot?

Sunrise for government.dot runs only for the registry's fixed window; if you wait too long, it closes and government.dot moves to general availability where trademark priority no longer applies. domain.pay submits government.dot within the sunrise window for you. Act at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a .PAY domain be longer than 63 characters for digital wallets?

.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.

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.
