Frequently asked questions about colonies.dot

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for crypto payments?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

Why does colonies.dot show available now but not yesterday?

Statuses shift: Amazon Registry Services may have released colonies.dot from reserved, or a prior registration on colonies.dot lapsed. That's why availability isn't static. Since registry status can change, re-check colonies.dot at https://domain.pay/domains before relying on the result.

When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain for a crypto or DeFi product?

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.

Can colonies.dot host a deposit page for bookings?

Yes. Service businesses can take booking deposits on colonies.dot, giving customers a clear payment address to secure an appointment. The .PAY name reduces no-shows by making the deposit step feel official. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.

What disputes can affect a .PAY Sunrise name for in-app purchases?

.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.

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.
