Frequently asked questions about instars.dot

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for mobile money?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

Where can I see the renewal date for instars.dot?

Your domain dashboard lists the current expiry and next renewal date for instars.dot, along with the auto-renew status. Reviewing it regularly ensures instars.dot doesn't slip into a grace or redemption period. Open the dashboard at /domains to check the date for instars.dot.

Are short .PAY names always available for payroll disbursements?

Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.

Will pre-ordering guarantee I get instars.dot?

A pre-order queues your request for instars.dot but can't guarantee it, because contested labels and registry rules from Amazon Registry Services determine the outcome. If the attempt fails, the pre-order fee is refundable per policy. Place your instars.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

For mobile money, 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.

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.
