Frequently asked questions about certus.dot
When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain for crypto payments?
Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Should I secure certus.dot before announcing a new payment product?
Yes. Announcing a payment product can alert opportunists to register certus.dot before you do, so securing the certus.dot name first is wise. A $100 refundable pre-order lets NicNames lock certus.dot ahead of any public reveal. https://domain.pay/register
Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto for mobile money?
domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.
Will certus.dot help customers recognize a payment link?
A link ending in .PAY like certus.dot signals payment context before a customer even clicks. That clarity can reduce hesitation compared with an unfamiliar or generic URL. Because Amazon Registry Services runs .PAY, the suffix carries a consistent, purpose-built meaning.
For payroll disbursements, 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.
