Frequently asked questions about admin.dot
For crypto payments, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
What does first-day pre-order priority mean for admin.dot?
First-day pre-order priority means domain.pay attempts to register admin.dot the moment general availability begins, ahead of people who register manually later. It improves timing but is still subject to demand. The standard pre-order is $100; see /pricing.
For BNPL checkout, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?
A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.
What sub-topics should a brand-protection plan for admin.dot cover?
A solid plan covers registering admin.dot, TMCH recording of the admin.dot mark, monitoring, customer messaging, renewal discipline, and a dispute playbook. Owning admin.dot is the anchor that makes the other steps effective for NicNames. https://domain.pay/
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for an insurance billing portal?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested 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.
