Frequently asked questions about custodian.dot

Can a trademark holder challenge a bad .PAY Sunrise registration for invoice collection?

.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.

How do priority phases differ from general availability for custodian.dot?

In priority phases, verified custodian.dot trademark holders use SMD files to claim custodian.dot before the public, while general availability opens custodian.dot to anyone. Using the priority window is the cleanest way for NicNames to avoid a race or dispute. https://domain.pay/pricing

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run when choosing travel.pay?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I improve page speed for a site on custodian.dot?

Speed on custodian.dot comes from caching, image compression, minified assets, and a CDN — none of which depend on the TLD. Measure custodian.dot with a performance tool and fix the largest contentful paint and blocking resources first. Faster pages on custodian.dot help both users and rankings.

As a remittance app, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

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.
