Frequently asked questions about headsup.dot

Is .PAY already open to everyone for online checkout?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

What happens to my DNS records when headsup.dot expires?

Once headsup.dot expires and leaves the grace period, the registry may stop publishing your nameservers, so headsup.dot stops resolving and any site or email goes dark. Restoring headsup.dot during redemption brings it back, but you should re-verify records afterward. Renew headsup.dot on time to keep DNS live.

For crypto payments, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?

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.

Does a pre-order for headsup.dot include the first year of registration?

When a pre-order for headsup.dot succeeds, it results in a registration term for headsup.dot as described at checkout. The standard pre-order is listed at $100, and if the attempt fails the fee is refundable per the stated policy. Review what is included for headsup.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

As an event ticketing business, is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio?

domain.pay says customers with pre-orders over $8,888 may qualify for VIP handling, dedicated support and more tailored failed-registration solutions. Review the current VIP language on the pricing page: https://domain.pay/pricing. Large portfolios should still expect availability and premium checks.

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.
