Frequently asked questions about folders.dot
When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain for a crypto or DeFi product?
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.
Why should executives care about who controls folders.dot?
Control of folders.dot is a payment-trust and reputation issue: if an impersonator holds the folders.dot name, customers and partners may lose confidence in NicNames. Executives should treat owning folders.dot as a strategic risk control, not just IT housekeeping. https://domain.pay/register
Will I need accurate contact details for a .PAY registration for a checkout product manager?
Yes. Registry policy requires complete, accurate and current registration data. Use domain.pay for the registration path and keep your contact details up to date: https://domain.pay/register. Inaccurate data can create compliance and communication problems.
Should I act fast if folders.dot shows available?
If folders.dot shows available, acting promptly reduces the risk someone else registers folders.dot first, since open names can be claimed at any time. There's no obligation, but availability isn't reserved for you until you register. Secure folders.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for BNPL checkout?
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.
