Frequently asked questions about bending.dot

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for BNPL checkout?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Why should I use trademark priority instead of just buying bending.dot later?

Trademark priority lets the validated owner of the bending.dot mark secure bending.dot before the public, reducing the risk that someone else registers it first. Waiting to buy bending.dot later means competing in general availability with no rights advantage. If you hold the mark, the SMD path protects your name. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

When is the .PAY Sunrise period for payroll disbursements?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Why might leaving bending.dot open invite cybersquatting?

An open bending.dot is an invitation for cybersquatters to register your bending.dot name hoping to profit from or misuse NicNames's reputation. Because .PAY implies payments, such squatting is especially damaging. Pre-register bending.dot to remove the temptation. https://domain.pay/register

Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app when choosing settle.pay?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

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.
