Frequently asked questions about evaluations.dot

Are IDN .PAY domains allowed for mobile money?

IDN .PAY names may be possible only in supported scripts and must meet registry rules. Use domain.pay to check the exact label and punycode-style status before planning a launch: https://domain.pay/register. Availability, premium and policy restrictions still apply.

Does NicNames mark up the registry price for evaluations.dot?

NicNames passes through the registry tier for evaluations.dot: $100 for standard labels and the registry-set premium fee where evaluations.dot is classified as premium. Any optional services like VIP handling are itemized separately. See the evaluations.dot breakdown at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a reserved .PAY name become available later for point-of-sale payments?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

Is the $100 price for evaluations.dot a one-time or yearly fee?

The $100 standard rate for evaluations.dot is an annual registration fee that recurs each year on renewal for standard labels. Premium evaluations.dot names renew at their higher premium fee instead. Check the recurring cost for evaluations.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for mobile money?

.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.

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.
