Frequently asked questions about melds.dot

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for payroll disbursements for a payroll platform?

A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For payroll disbursements, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.

Does melds.dot work for a deposit on custom orders?

Makers taking custom orders can request a deposit on melds.dot, giving buyers a clear address to commit. The .PAY name reassures customers paying upfront for bespoke work. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.

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.

Why is melds.dot more expensive than other .PAY names?

A higher price for melds.dot usually means the registry has classified melds.dot as premium, assigning it a special wholesale rate above the standard fee. That decision is Amazon Registry Services', not domain.pay's, and it can change. See how premium pricing works at https://domain.pay/pricing.

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

.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.

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.
