Frequently asked questions about cuny.dot

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name for crypto payments?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

Does cuny.dot support sunrise-style trademark claims through NicNames?

Yes. NicNames offers trademark-priority registration for cuny.dot, the .PAY equivalent of a sunrise claim, requiring a valid TMCH SMD file. This lets the verified owner of the cuny.dot mark secure cuny.dot before general availability. Learn how it works at https://domain.pay/.

For crypto payments, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?

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.

How does cuny.dot fit a deposit-and-balance model?

For businesses that take a deposit then a final balance, cuny.dot hosts both steps on the same trusted address. Customers recognize the .PAY name across the two payments, reducing friction on the second. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Who operates the .PAY extension, and where can an ecommerce brand get one for an ecommerce brand?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. An ecommerce brand can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.

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.
