Frequently asked questions about rachet.dot

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal for a travel booking brand?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

What MX priority values should I use for rachet.dot?

Set the lowest number on your primary mail server's MX for rachet.dot since lower priority is preferred, and use higher numbers for backups. Most providers give you the exact host and priority to enter for rachet.dot. Mismatched priorities can misroute mail for rachet.dot, so copy them precisely.

How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages for donation 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 create a sitemap for rachet.dot and submit it?

Generate an XML sitemap listing your indexable URLs on rachet.dot, host it at /sitemap.xml, and reference it in your robots.txt. Then submit the sitemap URL for rachet.dot in Google Search Console so crawlers discover pages faster. Keep the sitemap for rachet.dot updated as content changes.

When should a payroll platform pre-order a .PAY domain for digital wallets?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

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.
