Frequently asked questions about darkstalkers.dot

As a donation platform, how do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

Can darkstalkers.dot be both premium and VIP-handled?

Yes. A premium-classified darkstalkers.dot can still use VIP priority handling: the registry sets the premium fee for darkstalkers.dot while VIP only speeds your request in our queue. The two are independent charges on darkstalkers.dot. See both at https://domain.pay/pricing.

When is broader .PAY public registration expected for point-of-sale payments?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

What is a registrar lock and should darkstalkers.dot have one?

A registrar (transfer) lock prevents darkstalkers.dot from being moved without your explicit approval, guarding against hijacking. Keep darkstalkers.dot locked except during a deliberate transfer. You can toggle the lock for darkstalkers.dot in your account's domain settings.

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin when choosing merchant.pay?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through 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.
