Frequently asked questions about channelsurfing.dot
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for fraud prevention?
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.
Will a clearer name than channelsurfing.dot help customers find me?
A clearer name than channelsurfing.dot can help customers find and recall you, since simple channelsurfing.dot wording is easier to share and type. domain.pay surfaces cleaner variants so you can pick the most findable one. Compare clarity at https://domain.pay/domains.
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for fraud prevention?
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.
Does NicNames refund taxes on a failed channelsurfing.dot pre-order?
When a channelsurfing.dot pre-order attempt fails, the refund under our stated policy returns the amount you were charged, including taxes collected on that failed attempt where applicable. NicNames reconciles this with your payment provider. Read the refund terms for channelsurfing.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
As a donation platform, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?
.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.
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.
