Frequently asked questions about either.dot
For loan repayments, who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
How can I make either.dot the single source of truth for payments?
Once NicNames owns either.dot, publish it consistently as the only official payment address and direct customers there from verified channels. A single trusted either.dot name makes impersonators easier to spot. Begin by securing either.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
What should I know about Amazon Registry and .PAY before registering for loan repayments?
Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A retail brand can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.
Why might my pre-order for either.dot not succeed?
A pre-order for either.dot may not succeed if another applicant is allocated either.dot, if the registry applies reserved-name or premium rules, or if priority claimants take precedence. In those cases the fee is refundable per the stated policy. Submit your pre-order for either.dot 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.
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.
