Frequently asked questions about cherished.dot
When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for payroll disbursements?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Is owning cherished.dot enough, or should I also use other safeguards?
Owning cherished.dot is the foundation, but pairing it with TMCH monitoring, customer education, and clear official-channel messaging strengthens protection of the cherished.dot name. No single measure is absolute, so treat cherished.dot ownership as the core of a layered approach. https://domain.pay/
Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring for a travel booking brand?
No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Can I pre-order cherished.dot now and add my SMD later?
Trademark priority for cherished.dot requires a valid SMD at the time of the priority claim, so you cannot retroactively convert a plain pre-order into a priority claim without one. If you have the SMD, use the trademark-priority path directly for cherished.dot. If not, a standard pre-order at $100 is the alternative. Choose your path at https://domain.pay/pricing.
When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for crypto payments?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions.

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.
