Frequently asked questions about church.dot
When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run when choosing settle.pay?
ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Why does church.dot load on HTTP but not HTTPS?
If church.dot serves over HTTP but fails on HTTPS, the SSL certificate is likely missing, expired, or not bound to port 443 on your server. Install or renew a cert covering church.dot, ensure 443 is open, then redirect HTTP to HTTPS. Test church.dot again after reloading the web server.
As an ecommerce brand, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?
A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.
Which trademark holders get priority for church.dot?
Holders of a registered trademark matching church.dot get priority for church.dot during the trademark-priority phase. You prove the right with a TMCH SMD file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse. domain.pay supports this priority path for church.dot at /register.
As a checkout product manager, what does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover?
domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.
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.
