Frequently asked questions about deflect.dot
What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027?
Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Are failed pre-orders for deflect.dot refundable?
Yes. If your pre-order attempt for deflect.dot does not succeed, domain.pay refunds it per its published policy. You are not charged to keep a name you could not secure. Review the refund terms alongside the $100 standard pre-order on /pricing.
Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring for a regional bank?
No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Will buying deflect.dot via priority protect me from future disputes?
Securing deflect.dot via a valid SMD establishes your validated-rights claim during launch, which strengthens your position, but it does not waive the registry's or ICANN's separate dispute mechanisms. TMCH priority is launch protection for deflect.dot, not a blanket immunity. Use it as a first line of defence. Claim deflect.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
For loan repayments, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?
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.
