Frequently asked questions about retain.dot

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for an insurance billing portal?

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.

What is the risk of not pre-ordering retain.dot?

Without a pre-order, you must register retain.dot manually when its phase opens, risking that a trademark holder or a faster registrant takes it first. Pre-ordering retain.dot with domain.pay removes that timing disadvantage. Avoid the risk at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I know about Amazon Registry and .PAY before registering for a retail brand?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A retail 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 use retain.dot for API endpoints and webhooks?

Yes. Dedicate a subdomain such as api.retain.dot with its own DNS record and SSL, and serve your endpoints there. Using retain.dot for APIs keeps a clean, branded base URL for integrations and webhook callbacks. Secure it with HTTPS and proper auth.

What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium for digital wallets?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

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.
