Frequently asked questions about gac.dot

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for crypto payments?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I set up HTTPS and an SSL certificate on gac.dot?

Point gac.dot at your server via DNS first, then issue a certificate from a CA such as Let's Encrypt or your hosting provider's automated tool. Most platforms validate ownership of gac.dot over HTTP or DNS and renew automatically. Once installed, force all traffic to HTTPS with a redirect.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for marketplace payouts?

.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.

Will domain.pay submit gac.dot automatically at launch?

Yes. Once you pre-order gac.dot, domain.pay submits the registration automatically when the relevant phase opens, so you do not have to be online at that moment. Failed attempts are refundable per policy. Set up auto-submission at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments for point-of-sale payments?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

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.
