Frequently asked questions about 4cats.dot

When is the .PAY Sunrise period for point-of-sale payments?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Why is securing 4cats.dot a smart first move for a new NicNames?

A new NicNames has no established defenses, so claiming 4cats.dot early prevents squatters from anchoring to the 4cats.dot name as you grow. A $100 refundable pre-order makes this a low-risk first move toward payment trust. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name for loan repayments?

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.

Does Amazon Registry Services pre-screen who can register 4cats.dot?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY registry and sets its policies, but registry operation does not automatically reserve 4cats.dot for NicNames. Trademark holders gain advantage through TMCH priority, not through automatic screening, so you should actively claim 4cats.dot. https://domain.pay/register

Is .PAY meant for online checkout or just for general websites?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as online checkout, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
