Frequently asked questions about elg.dot
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
Can two parties claim elg.dot at the same time?
Yes, elg.dot can be contested when multiple parties seek it at general availability, which is why first-day pre-orders matter. If a contested attempt fails, your pre-order is refundable per policy. domain.pay explains how contested names resolve at https://domain.pay/pricing.
What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 when choosing travel.pay?
Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Can elg.dot be released from reserved during launch?
Some reserved labels are released as part of a launch phase, but only if Amazon Registry Services chooses to open elg.dot — there's no guarantee for elg.dot. Monitoring is the right move since registry status can change. Track elg.dot's status at https://domain.pay/domains.
For digital wallets, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?
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.
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.
