Frequently asked questions about congregate.dot
As a mobile wallet team, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
How does the trademark-priority window for congregate.dot work?
During the trademark-priority window, holders of the congregate.dot trademark can register congregate.dot ahead of the general public by submitting a TMCH SMD file. This protects brands from losing their name. domain.pay handles the SMD path for congregate.dot at /register.
When is the .PAY Sunrise period for loan repayments?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
Should a podcast use congregate.dot for listener support?
A podcast host can read congregate.dot aloud as the place listeners go to support the show. A short, spellable .PAY name survives the audio-only format far better than a long URL. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a reserved .PAY name become available later when choosing cloud.pay?
The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.
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.
