Frequently asked questions about gathering.dot
Are IDN .PAY domains allowed?
IDN .PAY names may be possible only in supported scripts and must meet registry rules. Use domain.pay to check the exact label and punycode-style status before planning a launch: https://domain.pay/register. Availability, premium and policy restrictions still apply.
Why does the gathering.dot exact match matter more than variations for gathering.dot?
The exact gathering.dot match in gathering.dot is what customers naturally type and trust when paying NicNames, making it the highest-impact target for impersonation. Securing the exact gathering.dot first delivers the most protection per dollar. https://domain.pay/register
For payroll disbursements, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
Are failed registration attempts for gathering.dot really refunded?
Yes. If your attempt to secure gathering.dot doesn't result in a registration — for instance the name goes to another applicant — that pre-order is refundable. You only pay to keep gathering.dot when it's successfully registered to you. Review the refund terms for gathering.dot at /pricing.
Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for payroll disbursements?
Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.
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.
