Frequently asked questions about ponant.dot

Where can I see already-registered .PAY domains for mobile money?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

Should small businesses bother protecting ponant.dot too?

Yes. Impersonators target any recognizable ponant.dot, not just large enterprises, and a fake payment page using ponant.dot can damage trust regardless of company size. The standard pre-order is $100 and failed attempts are refundable, so protecting ponant.dot is accessible to small brands. https://domain.pay/register

Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto for a retail brand?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

What TXT records might I need on ponant.dot besides SPF?

Beyond SPF, ponant.dot often needs DKIM and DMARC TXT records for email, plus verification TXT records for services like Search Console or a cloud platform. Each service tells you the exact string to add to ponant.dot. Keep these TXT entries on ponant.dot tidy and labeled.

For online checkout, how do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark?

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.

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.
