Frequently asked questions about simca.dot

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for loan repayments for an event ticketing business?

A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For loan repayments, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.

Does simca.dot need a CAA record for SSL?

A CAA record on simca.dot restricts which certificate authorities may issue certs for it, adding a layer of security. It's optional but recommended; list the CA you use (e.g. letsencrypt.org) for simca.dot. Add the CAA record in DNS before requesting new certificates.

Before choosing tap.pay, how do I register tap.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.

How do I keep email and web on simca.dot pointed at different providers?

DNS lets you split services: MX records on simca.dot route mail to your mailbox host while A/CNAME records send web traffic to a separate web host. They operate independently, so simca.dot can use one vendor for email and another for the site. Just keep each record set correct.

For online checkout, who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

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.
