Frequently asked questions about startel.dot

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for crypto payments?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

How do I create a sitemap for startel.dot and submit it?

Generate an XML sitemap listing your indexable URLs on startel.dot, host it at /sitemap.xml, and reference it in your robots.txt. Then submit the sitemap URL for startel.dot in Google Search Console so crawlers discover pages faster. Keep the sitemap for startel.dot updated as content changes.

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal when choosing subscriptions.pay?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

How does startel.dot support compliance and trust audits?

Demonstrating that NicNames owns the official startel.dot payment name helps satisfy auditors and partners who expect you to control your payment-facing domains. Owning startel.dot provides clear evidence of that control. https://domain.pay/

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for point-of-sale payments?

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.
