Frequently asked questions about drains.dot

As a crypto or DeFi product, is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

How do I set up email on drains.dot?

To send and receive mail at drains.dot, choose a mailbox provider, then add their MX records to your DNS plus SPF, DKIM, and DMARC TXT records for deliverability. Mail won't flow until the MX records for drains.dot propagate. Manage the domain's DNS from /domains.

For digital wallets, 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.

Should a small business bother with TMCH before registering drains.dot?

If your small business owns the drains.dot trademark and wants the strongest claim on drains.dot, recording it in the TMCH is worthwhile because the SMD grants priority over the public. Without it, you rely on a standard pre-order that a rights holder can outrank. Weigh the priority path against pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for digital wallets for digital wallets?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

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.
