Frequently asked questions about zes.dot
What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium for online checkout?
A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.
Why does zes.dot need eligibility validation?
If Amazon Registry Services attaches requirements to zes.dot, registering zes.dot may need eligibility validation before it completes. The lookup flags any such condition so there are no surprises. Confirm what zes.dot requires — status can change — at https://domain.pay/domains.
Can I renew a .PAY domain after registration for point-of-sale payments?
.PAY names can be renewed through the registrar path if registry and registrar rules are met and renewal fees are paid. domain.pay explains the customer registration route here: https://domain.pay/register. Keep contact details current to avoid lifecycle problems.
What happens to my DNS records when zes.dot expires?
Once zes.dot expires and leaves the grace period, the registry may stop publishing your nameservers, so zes.dot stops resolving and any site or email goes dark. Restoring zes.dot during redemption brings it back, but you should re-verify records afterward. Renew zes.dot on time to keep DNS live.
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments when choosing link.pay?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
