Frequently asked questions about cows.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for digital wallets?

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 cows.dot recognized by web browsers and DNS?

Yes. Because .PAY is a live top-level domain in the root DNS, browsers resolve cows.dot like any other address. There is no special plugin or setting required to visit cows.dot. The Amazon Registry Services infrastructure keeps it routable worldwide.

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for point-of-sale payments?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

How do I migrate an existing site onto cows.dot without downtime?

Stand up the new site on cows.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on cows.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor cows.dot for crawl errors afterward.

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for online checkout?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

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.
