Frequently asked questions about acquire.dot
Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for digital wallets?
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.
How does acquire.dot ownership help during a brand dispute?
If NicNames already owns acquire.dot, there is no name to dispute, which eliminates the cost, delay, and uncertainty of a UDRP-style proceeding. Prevention through ownership is far stronger than recovery after the fact. Lock in acquire.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
What should I know about Amazon Registry and .PAY before registering for point-of-sale payments?
Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A travel booking brand can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.
Is sunrise mandatory to get acquire.dot?
Sunrise is not mandatory for everyone; it is only the path for trademark holders to claim acquire.dot early. If you have no trademark, you simply use general availability instead. domain.pay routes your acquire.dot request to the correct phase at https://domain.pay/register.
As an insurance billing portal, can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names?
The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.
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.
