Frequently asked questions about recesses.dot

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for mobile money?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How long does DNS propagation take after I configure recesses.dot?

DNS changes for recesses.dot usually propagate within minutes but can take up to 24-48 hours globally, depending on the TTL values on each record. Lowering the TTL before a planned change reduces the wait. Use a public DNS lookup tool to confirm recesses.dot resolves consistently across resolvers.

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for BNPL checkout?

A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For BNPL checkout, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.

What trust signal does recesses.dot send compared to a free subdomain?

A dedicated recesses.dot on a payment-purpose TLD signals an official, controlled payment property, while a free subdomain looks generic and easier to fake. Customers paying NicNames gain confidence from the clear recesses.dot name. Establish it at https://domain.pay/register.

For digital wallets, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
