Frequently asked questions about colonist.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for a bank or credit union?

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 I pre-order colonist.dot and decide later?

A first-day pre-order lets you queue an attempt for colonist.dot now, and if the attempt does not succeed it is refundable per policy. This gives you flexibility on competitive names. domain.pay manages the pre-order; see terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for point-of-sale payments?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

What is general availability for a name like colonist.dot?

General availability is the open launch phase in which any registrant can claim colonist.dot on a first-come basis, after sunrise ends. It is the phase most buyers without trademarks use. A first-day pre-order stages colonist.dot for this moment at https://domain.pay/register.

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name for loan repayments?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

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.
