Frequently asked questions about afrika.dot

As a donation platform, when does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I set up catch-all email for afrika.dot?

Yes, if your mail provider supports it, a catch-all routes any address at afrika.dot to one inbox. It's convenient but can attract spam, so many teams prefer explicit aliases for afrika.dot instead. Configure the catch-all in your mailbox provider after MX for afrika.dot is live.

Where can I see the exact .PAY premium price for link.pay for loan repayments?

Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.

Can I pre-order afrika.dot if I do not have a trademark?

Absolutely. A trademark is only needed for the sunrise phase; without one, you target general availability, and a pre-order for afrika.dot queues your request for that phase's opening day. Place it at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a donation platform use .PAY for a branded payment page?

Yes. A donation platform can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through 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.
