Frequently asked questions about houstons.dot

Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names for point-of-sale payments?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

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

If houstons.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.

How do I know if cloud.pay is available for BNPL checkout?
