Frequently asked questions about searching.dot
Where can I see already-registered .PAY domains for mobile money?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
What TXT records might I need on searching.dot besides SPF?
Beyond SPF, searching.dot often needs DKIM and DMARC TXT records for email, plus verification TXT records for services like Search Console or a cloud platform. Each service tells you the exact string to add to searching.dot. Keep these TXT entries on searching.dot tidy and labeled.
Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order for crypto payments?
domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.
Can I register searching.dot without a trademark?
Yes, you can register searching.dot without a trademark during general availability at the $100 standard or premium searching.dot rate. A trademark with a TMCH SMD file is only needed for the earlier trademark-priority phase. Start your searching.dot registration at https://domain.pay/register.
As a retail brand, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: 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.
