Frequently asked questions about cliche.dot
Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for rent collection?
.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.
Does domain.pay support trademark-priority registration for cliche.dot?
Yes. If you own a trademark recorded in the TMCH with a valid SMD file, domain.pay can register cliche.dot for you during the sunrise phase, ahead of general availability. This is the safest route for brand owners. Read more at https://domain.pay/register.
Is .PAY already open to everyone for crypto payments?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
What customer message should accompany ownership of cliche.dot?
Tell customers that cliche.dot is the only official cliche.dot payment address and that NicNames will never collect payments from other domains. Pairing clear messaging with real ownership of cliche.dot makes impersonation easier to detect. https://domain.pay/register
How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
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.
