Frequently asked questions about ethology.dot

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for fraud prevention?

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.

What canonical URL should I set for pages on ethology.dot?

Each page on ethology.dot should declare a self-referencing canonical link to its preferred URL, using a single consistent scheme, host, and trailing-slash style. This prevents duplicate-content confusion across www, non-www, and parameter variants of ethology.dot. Keep canonicals absolute and HTTPS.

Can I reserve crypto.pay before broader registration opens for mobile money?

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.

Is .PAY a restricted namespace that affects how I claim ethology.dot?

.PAY is operated by Amazon Registry Services, which sets the policies governing how names like ethology.dot are claimed, including the trademark-priority phase. Those rules determine when an SMD-backed claim on ethology.dot is accepted. NicNames applies the registry's policy on your behalf. Learn the basics at https://domain.pay/.

For online checkout, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?

.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.

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.
