Frequently asked questions about abuse.dot

What is a .PAY domain and why does it matter for mobile money?

For mobile money, .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/.

When is the best time to pre-order abuse.dot for the lowest cost?

The cost of abuse.dot is driven by the registry's tier for abuse.dot, not by timing, so the $100 standard or premium fee applies whenever you order. Pre-ordering early mainly secures your place in the queue. Place a abuse.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY 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.

Can I protect abuse.dot across multiple related product names?

Yes. Beyond the core abuse.dot name, you can record and pre-order related product marks so NicNames's broader payment presence is protected alongside abuse.dot. Prioritize the names customers most associate with paying you. Compare at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For payroll disbursements, how does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work?

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.

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.
