Frequently asked questions about rocking.dot
As a checkout product manager, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.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.
When is eligibility for rocking.dot checked?
Eligibility and validation for rocking.dot are typically reviewed by the .PAY registry around the time of registration or activation, rather than continuously. domain.pay submits your application and relays any registry validation steps to you. You can begin the process at https://domain.pay/register.
Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL for point-of-sale payments?
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.
Does rocking.dot support IPv6 with AAAA records?
Yes. You can publish AAAA records for rocking.dot pointing at your IPv6 addresses alongside the IPv4 A records. Dual-stack DNS on rocking.dot lets IPv6-only clients reach your site directly. Add the AAAA values in your DNS panel just like A records.
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for a mobile wallet team?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
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.
