Frequently asked questions about costx.dot
Is .PAY meant for online checkout or just for general websites?
.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as online checkout, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
Can I pre-order costx.dot if my trademark application is still pending?
Trademark-priority for costx.dot requires a TMCH SMD file, which the Trademark Clearinghouse issues only for validated marks, so a pending application alone may not qualify for costx.dot. You can still place a standard pre-order for costx.dot meanwhile. Choose a path at https://domain.pay/register.
What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for a checkout product manager?
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.
What is the first step to secure costx.dot for my startup?
The first step to secure costx.dot is to search costx.dot on domain.pay and choose trademark-priority (if you have a TMCH SMD file) or a standard pre-order at $100. The flow then queues your costx.dot request with the registry. Take the first step at https://domain.pay/register.
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for payroll disbursements?
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.
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.
