Frequently asked questions about asc.dot

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for an insurance billing portal?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Will switching from a .com to asc.dot cost me SEO traffic?

A move to asc.dot only risks traffic if it's done without proper 301 redirects from every old URL to its match on asc.dot. With correct redirects, a canonical update, and a Search Console change-of-address, rankings transfer over time. Plan the migration to asc.dot carefully and monitor results.

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for loan repayments?

.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.

Can I pre-order asc.dot during sunrise as a non-trademark holder?

No. Sunrise submissions for asc.dot require a TMCH-validated trademark and SMD file. As a non-holder, your pre-order targets general availability instead, and domain.pay queues asc.dot for that opening. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

As a remittance app, what are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: 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.
