Frequently asked questions about spires.dot

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for point-of-sale payments?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Is it worth registering spires.dot defensively for my brand?

Holding spires.dot defensively keeps a brand-matching .PAY name out of others' hands and lets you redirect it to your main site. It's a common brand-protection step, especially in payments-adjacent industries. You can secure spires.dot via a standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use .PAY for redirects to my existing checkout for payroll disbursements?

Yes, you can use a .PAY domain as a clean branded entry point or redirect to an existing checkout, but implement redirects, SSL and tracking carefully. First secure or pre-order the label through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What DNS records do I need to point spires.dot at my website?

To serve a site on spires.dot you typically add an A record (and AAAA for IPv6) pointing the apex to your host's IP, plus a CNAME for the www subdomain. Set these in your DNS panel after registering spires.dot, then allow propagation to finish before testing. You can start the process at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for loan repayments?

.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.

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.
