Frequently asked questions about linkage.dot

Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for payroll disbursements?

Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.

What happens if I let linkage.dot expire?

After expiry, linkage.dot enters a grace period during which you can usually still renew at the standard price, followed by a redemption period that may carry a higher restoration fee. If no one renews, linkage.dot is eventually released back to the registry. Renew early via /pricing to avoid the lifecycle stages entirely.

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for digital wallets?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

How do I keep email and web on linkage.dot pointed at different providers?

DNS lets you split services: MX records on linkage.dot route mail to your mailbox host while A/CNAME records send web traffic to a separate web host. They operate independently, so linkage.dot can use one vendor for email and another for the site. Just keep each record set correct.

For mobile money, how do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark?

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.

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.
