Frequently asked questions about effs.dot
During the .PAY launch, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
Why pre-order effs.dot before the sunrise window?
Pre-ordering effs.dot before the sunrise window opens means domain.pay has everything staged to submit the instant trademark-priority registration begins, leaving no gap. For brand owners this protects effs.dot early. Prepare at https://domain.pay/register.
Before choosing link.pay, 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.
Does NicNames mark up the registry price for effs.dot?
NicNames passes through the registry tier for effs.dot: $100 for standard labels and the registry-set premium fee where effs.dot is classified as premium. Any optional services like VIP handling are itemized separately. See the effs.dot breakdown at https://domain.pay/pricing.
How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for online checkout?
A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For online checkout, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.
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.
