Frequently asked questions about prevents.dot
What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for digital wallets?
domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.
Does prevents.dot need a CAA record for SSL?
A CAA record on prevents.dot restricts which certificate authorities may issue certs for it, adding a layer of security. It's optional but recommended; list the CA you use (e.g. letsencrypt.org) for prevents.dot. Add the CAA record in DNS before requesting new certificates.
For BNPL checkout, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
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.
Should the name beat prevents.dot on saying it aloud?
Yes, a name that says prevents.dot more smoothly aloud than prevents.dot is often the better pick, since spoken clarity drives word-of-mouth. domain.pay's comparison view helps you test pronunciation across candidates. Compare aloud at https://domain.pay/domains.
Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for a retail brand?
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.
