Frequently asked questions about cont.dot

Should an ecommerce brand protect its exact brand in .PAY for invoice collection?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

Where do I go to register cont.dot once it's available?

As soon as cont.dot is open, you complete registration at https://domain.pay/register, where the flow adapts to whether cont.dot is standard or premium. The registry price, if premium, shows before you confirm. Start with cont.dot there once it's available.

Can a reserved .PAY name become available later for a checkout product manager?

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.

How much do I save registering cont.dot at the standard rate?

Registering cont.dot at the $100 standard rate avoids the higher recurring fees of a premium classification, which the registry applies only to certain cont.dot strings. The saving depends entirely on whether cont.dot is premium. Confirm the rate for cont.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

As a brand-protection manager, how much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

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.
