Frequently asked questions about gep.dot

Who operates the .PAY extension, and where can a checkout product manager get one for mobile money?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A checkout product manager can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.

How do I back up the DNS zone for gep.dot?

Export the full zone file for gep.dot from your DNS host, or record each record set, so you can restore quickly after a mistake or provider change. Keep the backup of gep.dot's zone versioned and off the provider. Re-import it to rebuild gep.dot if the zone is ever lost.

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY when choosing cloud.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.

What proof does NicNames need to grant me priority on gep.dot?

To grant trademark priority on gep.dot, NicNames needs a valid TMCH SMD file whose encoded mark matches the gep.dot string. The SMD is your cryptographic proof of validated trademark rights. No SMD means no priority claim is possible for gep.dot. Submit your proof at https://domain.pay/register.

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration for digital wallets?

.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.

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.
