Frequently asked questions about founders.dot

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for payroll disbursements?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

How do I redirect founders.dot to another website?

You can forward founders.dot with a registrar-level URL redirect, or host a small server that issues a 301 to your target. A 301 is permanent and passes the most SEO signal, which is ideal if founders.dot should point to your main site. Configure forwarding for founders.dot from /domains.

When is broader .PAY public registration expected when choosing settle.pay?

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. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

Which statuses can founders.dot have at the registry?

At any moment founders.dot can be available, premium (open at a special registry price), reserved (withheld), blocked (off-limits), or registered (already owned). These are set by Amazon Registry Services and can change. Check which applies to founders.dot now at https://domain.pay/domains.

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name for fraud prevention?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

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.
