Frequently asked questions about updates.dot
For fraud prevention, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?
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.
What SPF and DKIM records should I add for updates.dot?
Add a single SPF TXT record authorizing your sending servers and a DKIM TXT record with the public key your provider gives you for updates.dot. Together with a DMARC policy, these reduce the chance that mail from updates.dot lands in spam. Each provider supplies the exact values to paste into DNS.
As a brand-protection manager, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
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 does it mean that .PAY is a top-level domain for updates.dot?
A top-level domain is the final segment of an address, so in updates.dot the .PAY is the TLD that sits at the root of the DNS hierarchy. It is on the same level as .com or .org. That makes updates.dot a fully standard, globally routable name.
As a remittance app, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.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.
