Frequently asked questions about proprietary.dot
What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for a remittance app?
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 proprietary.dot make sense for in-app purchases?
For web-based in-app purchases, sending users to proprietary.dot keeps the buy flow on a payment-native address tied to your brand. That consistency reduces drop-off when players or users leave the app to pay. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages 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 do I move proprietary.dot to a different nameserver or DNS host?
To switch DNS hosts for proprietary.dot, recreate your existing records at the new provider first, then update the nameservers for proprietary.dot at the registrar to the new ones. Keeping the zone identical avoids downtime during the cutover. Edit nameservers for proprietary.dot from /domains.
Can a .PAY domain be longer than 63 characters for an ecommerce brand?
.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.
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.
