Frequently asked questions about geeknews.dot

For digital wallets, what is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I lock geeknews.dot to specific certificate authorities only?

Yes, via a CAA record you restrict which CAs may issue certificates for geeknews.dot, reducing mis-issuance risk. List each authorized CA's identifier for geeknews.dot in DNS. Combine the CAA on geeknews.dot with monitoring of Certificate Transparency logs for full coverage.

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY when choosing wallet.pay?

.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.

Can I register geeknews.dot on launch day myself?

You can attempt geeknews.dot manually on the first day of general availability, but that means competing live with everyone else. A pre-order lets domain.pay submit geeknews.dot automatically at the opening, hands-free. Choose the easier route at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

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.
