Frequently asked questions about recover.dot
For payroll disbursements, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?
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.
How do I track the status of my recover.dot order?
You track the status of your recover.dot order from your domain.pay account, which shows whether recover.dot is queued, submitted to the registry, registered, or refunded if the attempt fails per the stated policy. Open your recover.dot order tracking at https://domain.pay/register.
Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL for online checkout?
merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
How quickly can recover.dot be live after registration?
Once recover.dot is registered and you point its DNS to a host or redirect, it can resolve within typical DNS propagation times. The .PAY suffix does not slow this down. You control how fast recover.dot goes live by configuring its records.
Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for mobile money?
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.
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.
