Frequently asked questions about doughnuts.dot
As a crypto or DeFi product, when is broader .PAY public registration expected?
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.
Can I change the nameservers on doughnuts.dot without losing email?
Yes, if you recreate the MX (and SPF/DKIM/DMARC) records at the new DNS host before switching nameservers for doughnuts.dot. Identical records mean mail keeps flowing through the cutover of doughnuts.dot. Verify doughnuts.dot's email after the change by sending a test message.
For online checkout, can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day?
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.
Why does doughnuts.dot matter for protecting payment trust specifically?
Payment trust depends on customers being certain they are on the real doughnuts.dot property when they pay. Because .PAY implies payments, controlling doughnuts.dot prevents a fake from intercepting that trust. Holding doughnuts.dot is therefore a direct payment-security control for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration when choosing link.pay?
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.
