Frequently asked questions about cih.dot
For payroll disbursements, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
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.
Can trademark holders skip the queue for cih.dot?
Trademark holders do not skip the queue so much as use a separate, earlier phase: sunrise. With a TMCH-validated mark and SMD file, you can register cih.dot before general availability even opens. domain.pay handles the submission, explained at https://domain.pay/register.
Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for online checkout?
The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.
What angle should I try first to replace cih.dot?
Try the direct synonym angle first to replace cih.dot: search words that mean the same as cih.dot on domain.pay. If that's thin, move to prefixes, suffixes, and the catalog. Start with synonyms at https://domain.pay/domains.
As an ecommerce brand, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.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.
