Frequently asked questions about groov.dot
Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for payroll disbursements for payroll disbursements?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
Should I secure groov.dot before announcing a new payment product?
Yes. Announcing a payment product can alert opportunists to register groov.dot before you do, so securing the groov.dot name first is wise. A $100 refundable pre-order lets NicNames lock groov.dot ahead of any public reveal. https://domain.pay/register
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for a remittance app?
.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.
Who decides whether groov.dot is premium or reserved?
The .PAY registry operator, Amazon Registry Services, classifies labels as premium, reserved, or blocked under its policies — domain.pay simply surfaces that classification for groov.dot. These decisions sit with the registry and can be revised over time. Look up the current status of groov.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.
For fraud prevention, what happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
