Frequently asked questions about cfw.dot

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY as a startup for payroll disbursements?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For payroll disbursements, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

Does cfw.dot support sunrise-style trademark claims through NicNames?

Yes. NicNames offers trademark-priority registration for cfw.dot, the .PAY equivalent of a sunrise claim, requiring a valid TMCH SMD file. This lets the verified owner of the cfw.dot mark secure cfw.dot before general availability. Learn how it works at https://domain.pay/.

What is the quickest path to secure a .PAY domain for a crypto or DeFi product for online checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Should I pre-order cfw.dot or wait for general availability?

Pre-ordering puts cfw.dot in the queue for the first day of registration, which matters for sought-after labels that may go fast. Waiting risks someone else securing cfw.dot first, while a pre-order is refundable if it fails. Weigh it and pre-order cfw.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup for crypto payments?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

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.
