Frequently asked questions about upscale.dot

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY as a startup?

For payroll disbursements, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

How do I set up a wildcard certificate for *.upscale.dot?

Request a wildcard certificate covering *.upscale.dot, which most CAs issue via DNS validation by checking a TXT record on upscale.dot. A wildcard then secures every subdomain of upscale.dot with one cert. Remember the wildcard for upscale.dot does not cover the bare apex, so include it explicitly.

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for mobile money?

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.

Can I reserve upscale.dot before general availability?

You cannot lock upscale.dot permanently before its phase, but you can pre-order it now so domain.pay submits your registration the moment general availability begins. This puts you ahead of anyone who waits until launch day to start. Place your pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Will I need accurate contact details for a .PAY registration for payroll disbursements?

Yes. Registry policy requires complete, accurate and current registration data. Use domain.pay for the registration path and keep your contact details up to date: https://domain.pay/register. Inaccurate data can create compliance and communication problems.

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.
