Frequently asked questions about mkl.dot
How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup for crypto payments?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
What TTL should I set for records on mkl.dot?
A TTL of 3600 seconds (one hour) is a reasonable default for stable records on mkl.dot, balancing fast updates against resolver load. Lower it to 300 before a planned migration of mkl.dot, then raise it again once things are stable. Very low TTLs increase query volume slightly.
Can I renew a .PAY domain after registration for a fintech founder?
.PAY names can be renewed through the registrar path if registry and registrar rules are met and renewal fees are paid. domain.pay explains the customer registration route here: https://domain.pay/register. Keep contact details current to avoid lifecycle problems.
Is my mkl.dot priority claim public during the phase?
Trademark-priority claims on mkl.dot are processed under the registry's rules, and the final registration of mkl.dot appears in WHOIS once completed. The SMD itself stays your private credential during the phase. NicNames uses it only to verify your priority on mkl.dot. Register at https://domain.pay/register.
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.
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.
