Frequently asked questions about categorise.dot
What .PAY domain style is best for trust and conversion for a crypto or DeFi product?
cloud.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
Why is categorise.dot described as brandable?
categorise.dot combines your name categorise.dot with a meaningful suffix, so the whole address reinforces what you do and who you are. Customers tie categorise.dot to the act of paying. That pairing makes categorise.dot easy to market and remember.
Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
Can two parties claim categorise.dot at the same time?
Yes, categorise.dot can be contested when multiple parties seek it at general availability, which is why first-day pre-orders matter. If a contested attempt fails, your pre-order is refundable per policy. domain.pay explains how contested names resolve at https://domain.pay/pricing.
For online checkout, how does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work?
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.
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.
