Frequently asked questions about ares.dot

For online checkout, 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.

When should I lock in a name instead of exploring past ares.dot?

Lock in a name instead of exploring past ares.dot once you have a clear, available, brandable match for ares.dot and further searching only adds noise. domain.pay lets you pre-order the moment you decide. Pre-order when ready at https://domain.pay/register.

Who operates the .PAY extension, and where can an ecommerce brand get one?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. An ecommerce 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.

Can an agency submit the SMD on behalf of my brand for ares.dot?

An agency can run the NicNames registration flow for ares.dot if it has authority and access to your valid SMD for the ares.dot mark. The priority claim still rests on that SMD representing your validated rights. Make sure the agency uses the correct file for ares.dot. Begin the process at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else when choosing tap.pay?

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.

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.
