Frequently asked questions about pacta.dot
For mobile money, who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
Can I use a CDN like Cloudflare in front of pacta.dot?
Yes. Point pacta.dot's nameservers (or a CNAME) at the CDN, and it will cache content, terminate SSL, and absorb traffic spikes for pacta.dot. A CDN improves load times and resilience without changing your origin server. Configure the records for pacta.dot as the CDN instructs.
Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for online checkout?
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.
Are pre-orders for pacta.dot first-come, first-served?
Pre-orders help establish your position for pacta.dot, and general availability itself processes on a first-come basis when it opens. Pre-ordering early with domain.pay puts pacta.dot in the queue ahead of latecomers. Claim your spot at https://domain.pay/register.
For fraud prevention, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.
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.
