Frequently asked questions about habitation.dot
Can a .PAY domain be longer than 63 characters for a remittance app?
.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.
What if I miss the general availability opening for habitation.dot?
If you miss the opening, habitation.dot may already be taken by a faster registrant. A pre-order avoids this by having domain.pay submit habitation.dot automatically at the opening, so you cannot miss it. Set it up at https://domain.pay/register.
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for mobile money?
.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.
Can I register habitation.dot for a client or third party?
You can place a pre-order or priority request for habitation.dot on behalf of a client, with the registrant details for habitation.dot set in the order. For trademark priority, the SMD file must match the owner of the mark. Set up the habitation.dot order at https://domain.pay/register.
As a retail brand, 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.
