Frequently asked questions about castra.dot
How does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work for a travel booking brand?
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 should I consider alternatives to castra.dot?
Considering alternatives to castra.dot widens your options if the exact name is unavailable, costly to pursue, or trademark-restricted. domain.pay surfaces related payment-domain ideas built around castra.dot so you can compare and pick the best fit. Explore options at https://domain.pay/domains.
During the .PAY launch, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
How do I submit my SMD file when registering castra.dot?
During the trademark-priority flow for castra.dot, NicNames presents an upload field where you attach the .smd file exported from the Trademark Clearinghouse. The system parses the encoded mark and confirms the castra.dot label matches your validated trademark. Once accepted, your priority claim on castra.dot is queued. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for mobile money?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at 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.
