Frequently asked questions about backlog.dot

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 when choosing tap.pay?

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.

Should a hotel use backlog.dot for room deposits?

A hotel can collect reservation deposits and incidental charges on backlog.dot, giving guests one trusted payment address. The .PAY name on a confirmation email reassures travelers paying in advance. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help when choosing donate.pay?

domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.

What if a competitor already pre-ordered backlog.dot?

If a competitor already pre-ordered backlog.dot, domain.pay can suggest related backlog.dot names and catalog alternatives so you can secure a distinct, available option. Acting on a close variant early keeps your branding clear. Find alternatives at https://domain.pay/domains.

When should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments?

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.
