Frequently asked questions about inquest.dot

Before choosing donate.pay, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

How do I fix a redirect loop on inquest.dot?

A loop on inquest.dot usually comes from conflicting HTTP-to-HTTPS or www rules firing against each other. Trace the chain with a redirect checker, then ensure exactly one rule sends traffic to the canonical version of inquest.dot. Remove duplicate redirects at the CDN, server, and app layers.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP when choosing loans.pay?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

Will pre-ordering inquest.dot hold the name for me?

Pre-ordering inquest.dot holds your place in the queue and submits your request to the registry once inquest.dot is registrable, but it does not lock the name away from other applicants. If the attempt fails, the fee is refundable per the stated policy. Pre-order inquest.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

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.
