Frequently asked questions about icann.dot

What disputes can affect a .PAY Sunrise name for in-app purchases?

.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.

Is icann.dot eligible for VIP priority handling?

Most .PAY names, including icann.dot, are eligible for VIP priority handling, which advances your request in our submission queue at the drop. Whether icann.dot is standard $100 or premium does not affect VIP eligibility for icann.dot. Check eligibility at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For crypto payments, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Can holding icann.dot prevent fake invoices using the icann.dot name?

Owning icann.dot means fraudsters cannot send invoices or payment links from the genuine icann.dot address, removing a powerful trust signal they would otherwise abuse. It does not stop every scam, but it closes the most convincing one. Secure icann.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for payroll disbursements?

A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For payroll disbursements, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.

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.
