Frequently asked questions about dads.dot

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for point-of-sale payments?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

What happens to my pre-order if dads.dot goes to a trademark holder?

If a trademark holder claims dads.dot during the priority window, your general pre-order cannot succeed, and domain.pay refunds the failed attempt per its policy. You are not charged for a name you could not obtain. Refund terms are on /pricing.

Is .PAY meant for crypto payments or just for general websites?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as crypto payments, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Should I trademark a generic word to claim dads.dot?

Claiming dads.dot via priority requires a genuinely validated trademark for the dads.dot string, and generic words are hard to register and validate. Attempting to game priority with a weak mark risks rejection of the SMD for dads.dot. Pursue priority only with a legitimate mark, or use pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

As an insurance billing portal, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
