Frequently asked questions about required.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for mobile money?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

How do I add Google Analytics tracking to required.dot?

Place your Analytics or Tag Manager snippet in the head of every page on required.dot, then confirm hits appear in real-time reports. Make sure the tag's configured domain matches required.dot and any subdomains you track. Cross-domain tracking is needed if required.dot links to other hosts you own.

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for a retail brand?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

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

DNS changes for required.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 required.dot resolves consistently across resolvers.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for a remittance app?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

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.
