Frequently asked questions about novelists.dot

For point-of-sale payments, can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day?

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.

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

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

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check when choosing brand.pay?

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.

How should robots.txt be configured for novelists.dot?

Place a robots.txt at the root of novelists.dot that allows crawling of public pages, disallows admin or duplicate paths, and points to your sitemap. Be careful not to accidentally block all of novelists.dot with a stray Disallow: /. Test the file in Search Console after deploying.

For point-of-sale payments, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: 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.
