Frequently asked questions about awards.dot

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.

What does first-day pre-order mean for awards.dot?

A first-day pre-order means domain.pay stages your awards.dot request to be submitted on the very first day its phase opens, rather than you logging in to try manually. It is the fastest hands-off way to pursue awards.dot. Set it up at https://domain.pay/register.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for a checkout product manager?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

Why is .PAY launching in phases at all for awards.dot?

New gTLDs like .PAY launch in phases to protect trademark owners first (sunrise) before opening names like awards.dot to the general public (general availability). This staged rollout is an ICANN-standard process. Learn how to position for awards.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use .PAY for redirects to my existing checkout?

Yes, you can use a .PAY domain as a clean branded entry point or redirect to an existing checkout, but implement redirects, SSL and tracking carefully. First secure or pre-order the label through 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.
