Frequently asked questions about distance.dot
For digital wallets, what should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY?
Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.
Can I use distance.dot as a vanity short link for marketing?
Yes. A concise name like distance.dot works well as a memorable URL on print, ads, and packaging, redirecting to deeper landing pages. Use 301s and UTM parameters so traffic through distance.dot is tracked and passes SEO value. Set up the forwarding from /domains.
As a payroll platform, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
Will distance.dot be cheaper during general availability?
Pricing for distance.dot follows the registry and registrar schedule, not the phase, so general availability is not a discount window. The listed pre-order is $100, with failed attempts refundable per policy. See current rates at https://domain.pay/pricing.
For online checkout, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
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.
