Frequently asked questions about holdme.dot
When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for online checkout?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Will holdme.dot help a course creator sell programs?
A course creator can sell cohorts and downloads on holdme.dot, sending students to a trusted, payment-native checkout. It reads more credibly in an email or ad than a generic platform URL. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
Where can I see already-registered .PAY domains for BNPL checkout?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
What TXT records might I need on holdme.dot besides SPF?
Beyond SPF, holdme.dot often needs DKIM and DMARC TXT records for email, plus verification TXT records for services like Search Console or a cloud platform. Each service tells you the exact string to add to holdme.dot. Keep these TXT entries on holdme.dot tidy and labeled.
How do I know if cloud.pay is available?
Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.
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.
