Frequently asked questions about counsel.dot

As a payroll platform, when should a payroll platform pre-order a .PAY domain?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How does owning counsel.dot protect first-time customers most?

First-time customers have no prior reference for the real counsel.dot address, so they are especially vulnerable to a convincing fake. When NicNames owns counsel.dot and promotes it as official, newcomers are guided to the genuine payment page. https://domain.pay/register

For point-of-sale payments, how do I register a .PAY domain right now?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Can a partner registrar like NicNames help me register counsel.dot?

Yes. domain.pay works with partner registrar NicNames to handle the back-end registration of counsel.dot within the .PAY registry. You place your pre-order or priority request for counsel.dot through domain.pay, and NicNames processes it. Start your counsel.dot order at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for loan repayments?

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.

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.
