Frequently asked questions about arb.dot
What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for a retail brand?
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 claim arb.dot for a brand spelled with numbers?
If your validated mark for the arb.dot string includes numbers and the SMD encodes that exact form, it can support a priority claim on arb.dot where the label matches. The TMCH matching rules govern whether arb.dot qualifies. Confirm the encoded form matches, then register at https://domain.pay/register.
What .PAY domain style is best for trust and conversion for an event ticketing business?
merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
How do I know if arb.dot is still in the trademark-priority phase?
Availability and phase status for arb.dot are shown when you look it up through NicNames. If arb.dot is still in the priority phase, SMD-backed claims are accepted; once it passes, the name moves to pre-order and then general registration. Check the live status at https://domain.pay/domains.
Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
