Frequently asked questions about viii.dot

How does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work when choosing payroll.pay?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Can I lock viii.dot to specific certificate authorities only?

Yes, via a CAA record you restrict which CAs may issue certificates for viii.dot, reducing mis-issuance risk. List each authorized CA's identifier for viii.dot in DNS. Combine the CAA on viii.dot with monitoring of Certificate Transparency logs for full coverage.

Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for digital wallets?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

How does the registry premium fee for viii.dot get applied?

If the registry classifies viii.dot as premium, that fee is applied at both registration and each renewal of viii.dot, replacing the $100 standard rate. Amazon Registry Services sets the tier and we display it for viii.dot. See how the premium fee applies at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for BNPL checkout?

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.
