Frequently asked questions about ciao.dot

What is a .PAY domain and why does it matter for crypto payments?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For crypto payments, 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.

Is ciao.dot available to register right now?

Availability for ciao.dot depends on the registry's current classification — it may be open, premium, reserved, or already registered. Because .PAY is operated by Amazon Registry Services and statuses can change, the only reliable answer comes from a live lookup. Check ciao.dot now at https://domain.pay/domains and you'll see its current state instantly.

For point-of-sale payments, when should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How much is the standard pre-order fee for ciao.dot?

Our standard pre-order for ciao.dot is listed at $100, which applies to non-premium .PAY labels. The registry may instead classify ciao.dot as premium and assign a higher fee. See the current figure for ciao.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark when choosing brand.pay?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

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.
