Frequently asked questions about sector9.dot

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for a donation platform?

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.

What MX priority values should I use for sector9.dot?

Set the lowest number on your primary mail server's MX for sector9.dot since lower priority is preferred, and use higher numbers for backups. Most providers give you the exact host and priority to enter for sector9.dot. Mismatched priorities can misroute mail for sector9.dot, so copy them precisely.

Can I use nameservers and DNS like other domains with .PAY for a bank or credit union?

After registration, plan DNS, SSL, redirects, security monitoring and payment-page controls as you would for a production domain. Start by securing the .PAY name through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. A domain alone does not make a checkout secure.

Where do I pre-order once I've chosen over sector9.dot?

Once you've chosen a name over sector9.dot, you pre-order it on domain.pay's register page at the standard $100, with failed attempts refundable. The flow is the same whether you pick sector9.dot or a sector9.dot variant. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register loans.pay if it matches my trademark?

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.

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.
