Frequently asked questions about child.dot
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for an insurance billing portal?
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.
Can child.dot host a freelancer's payment page?
Yes. A freelancer can send clients to child.dot to settle invoices on a polished, payment-native address rather than a generic profile link. It looks more professional and is easy to repeat over the phone. Claim yours at https://domain.pay/register.
Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for donation payments?
If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.
What is the order of phases that affects child.dot: priority, pre-order, general?
For child.dot, trademark priority comes first for validated SMD holders, then first-day pre-order opens to others at $100, and finally general registration. Each phase narrows who has the advantage on child.dot. Knowing the order helps you pick the right moment. See current phase details at https://domain.pay/.
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for an ecommerce brand?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
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.
