Frequently asked questions about grad.dot

What should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY for a travel booking brand?

How do I confirm grad.dot points to the right server?

Run a DNS lookup for grad.dot and compare the returned A/AAAA records to your server's actual IPs, then load grad.dot in a browser. Tools like dig or an online checker show exactly where grad.dot resolves. If they don't match, correct the records and wait for the TTL to clear.

As a bank or credit union, when does the .PAY LRP1 period begin?

When does the priority window for grad.dot close?

What disputes can affect a .PAY Sunrise name for card processing?
