Frequently asked questions about recogni.dot

Who operates the .PAY extension, and where can an ecommerce brand get one?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. An ecommerce brand can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.

Can I lock recogni.dot to specific certificate authorities only?

Yes, via a CAA record you restrict which CAs may issue certificates for recogni.dot, reducing mis-issuance risk. List each authorized CA's identifier for recogni.dot in DNS. Combine the CAA on recogni.dot with monitoring of Certificate Transparency logs for full coverage.

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay when choosing trust.pay?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

What makes recogni.dot different from a regular .com for brand protection?

Unlike a generic .com, recogni.dot sits on a payment-purpose TLD operated by Amazon Registry Services, so users associate recogni.dot with handling money. That association makes protecting recogni.dot a payment-trust issue, not just a marketing one. Secure the official name at https://domain.pay/register.

Does .PAY automatically improve SEO rankings for mobile money?

.PAY is a branding and relevance signal, not an automatic SEO ranking boost. Use it when it improves payment-page clarity and user trust, then follow normal SEO practices. Start by securing or pre-ordering the domain 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.
