Frequently asked questions about inext.dot

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for a crypto or DeFi product?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Which DNS record type connects inext.dot to a load balancer?

Cloud load balancers are usually referenced by hostname, so you point the apex of inext.dot using an ALIAS/ANAME record (or a CNAME on a subdomain) at the balancer's DNS name. This lets the balancer's IPs change without breaking inext.dot. Your provider documents the exact target.

What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain 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.

Can I lock inext.dot to specific certificate authorities only?

Yes, via a CAA record you restrict which CAs may issue certificates for inext.dot, reducing mis-issuance risk. List each authorized CA's identifier for inext.dot in DNS. Combine the CAA on inext.dot with monitoring of Certificate Transparency logs for full coverage.

As a travel booking brand, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?

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.

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.
