Frequently asked questions about flank.dot
When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for crypto payments?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.
What happens to my DNS records when flank.dot expires?
Once flank.dot expires and leaves the grace period, the registry may stop publishing your nameservers, so flank.dot stops resolving and any site or email goes dark. Restoring flank.dot during redemption brings it back, but you should re-verify records afterward. Renew flank.dot on time to keep DNS live.
What should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY for digital wallets?
Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.
Does flank.dot work like a normal website address?
Yes, flank.dot resolves through the standard DNS just like any .com or .org address. You can point flank.dot at a website, a payment processor, or a redirect, and browsers treat it normally. The only difference is the payments-focused .PAY suffix.
Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for crypto payments?
Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.
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.
