Frequently asked questions about alike.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for a remittance app?

.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.

How does alike.dot compare to using a /pay path on a .com site?

With alike.dot the payment intent lives in the domain itself, while a /pay path hangs off a longer .com URL that may be hard to recall. alike.dot is easier to say aloud, print, or put on a QR code. Both can route to the same processor, but alike.dot is the cleaner address.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for online checkout for online checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

What does blocked mean compared to reserved for alike.dot?

For alike.dot, blocked means Amazon Registry Services has made alike.dot entirely unregisterable, often for policy or protective reasons, while reserved means it's withheld but potentially releasable. Both stop registration today. Registry status can change — re-check alike.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain for a donation platform?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

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.
