Frequently asked questions about explora.dot

For mobile money, is .PAY already open to everyone?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I avoid duplicate content between explora.dot and my .com?

Serve real content on only one of them and 301-redirect the other, or use cross-domain canonical tags pointing to the version you want indexed. Without this, explora.dot and the .com can split ranking signals. Pick the canonical host for explora.dot and enforce it site-wide.

Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for loan repayments for loan repayments?

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 a licensee rather than the trademark owner claim explora.dot?

Priority on explora.dot flows from the validated TMCH mark, so the claim is normally made by the SMD holder of record for the explora.dot mark. A licensee would need the appropriate authority and a usable SMD to act. Confirm who controls the SMD before claiming explora.dot. Begin registration at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal when choosing merchant.pay?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

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.
