Frequently asked questions about basics.dot

What does the .PAY ending signal to customers using online checkout?

.PAY signals that the destination is connected to payment action, such as online checkout. That can support clarity and trust when paired with strong security and branding. Check or pre-order the name at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Who should consider registering basics.dot first?

Brands that own the trademark for basics.dot should act first, since they get priority for basics.dot via an SMD file during the trademark window. After that, anyone wanting the payment address can place a first-day pre-order. Begin at /register.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for crypto payments?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Why would basics.dot be unavailable even during general availability?

basics.dot may stay unavailable during general availability if the registry has reserved or already allocated basics.dot, or designated it premium with different terms. The domain.pay flow flags any such status for basics.dot. Check the current status of basics.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY for rent collection?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

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.
