Frequently asked questions about expel.dot

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark when choosing secure.pay?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Can I pre-order expel.dot and a related name together?

Yes. domain.pay lets you pre-order expel.dot alongside related .PAY labels in one place, each queued for its own launch phase. This is handy for protecting a set of names around expel.dot. Browse and add them at https://domain.pay/domains.

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 do I know if I qualify for sunrise on expel.dot?

You qualify for sunrise on expel.dot if you own a trademark that matches the label and is recorded in the TMCH with an active SMD file. If you are unsure, domain.pay can help you check before expel.dot's sunrise window. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages for cross-border payments?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

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.
