Frequently asked questions about basketballs.dot

Can a brand-protection manager use .PAY for a branded payment page for crypto payments?

Yes. A brand-protection manager can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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

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

As a bank or credit union, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?

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.

Will my basketballs.dot renewal cost the same as registration?

For standard labels, basketballs.dot renews at the standard rate each year. If the registry classifies basketballs.dot as premium, both the first-year and renewal fees are higher and match the premium tier. Check the renewal figure for basketballs.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

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.
