Frequently asked questions about curating.dot

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for digital wallets?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Can I register curating.dot before general availability?

Yes, you can position for curating.dot before general availability using a first-day pre-order, or via trademark-priority registration if you hold a registered mark and TMCH SMD file. This helps you claim curating.dot early. domain.pay supports both at https://domain.pay/register.

Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order for a crypto or DeFi product?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

What happens to my DNS records when curating.dot expires?

Once curating.dot expires and leaves the grace period, the registry may stop publishing your nameservers, so curating.dot stops resolving and any site or email goes dark. Restoring curating.dot during redemption brings it back, but you should re-verify records afterward. Renew curating.dot on time to keep DNS live.

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for point-of-sale payments?

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.
