Frequently asked questions about pki.dot

As a donation platform, how do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

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

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

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for cross-border payments?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

How does a first-day pre-order beat manual registration of pki.dot?

A first-day pre-order has domain.pay submit pki.dot automatically at the exact opening of general availability, beating most manual attempts that start seconds or minutes late. It removes human reaction time from the race for pki.dot. Set it up at https://domain.pay/register.

Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for point-of-sale payments?

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.

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.
