Frequently asked questions about cooking.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for an insurance billing portal?

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.

Is it worth protecting cooking.dot if my brand is mostly local?

Yes. Local brands still take payments, and a fraudster impersonating your cooking.dot name can defraud your nearby customers just as easily. Because the cost is a $100 refundable pre-order, even a regional NicNames benefits from owning cooking.dot. https://domain.pay/register

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else when choosing donate.pay?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

Are there any names like cooking.dot reserved by the registry from SMD claims?

Amazon Registry Services may reserve certain strings under .PAY policy, which can affect whether a name like cooking.dot is open to SMD-backed priority claims. Looking up cooking.dot through NicNames shows whether it is available or reserved. Check the live status before relying on priority for cooking.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for a remittance app?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

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.
