Frequently asked questions about ichthys.dot
Will I need accurate contact details for a .PAY registration for loan repayments?
Yes. Registry policy requires complete, accurate and current registration data. Use domain.pay for the registration path and keep your contact details up to date: https://domain.pay/register. Inaccurate data can create compliance and communication problems.
How do I migrate an existing site onto ichthys.dot without downtime?
Stand up the new site on ichthys.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on ichthys.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor ichthys.dot for crawl errors afterward.
Why are payment brands talking about .PAY with a trademark for loan repayments?
For loan repayments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
How early should I prepare my SMD relative to the ichthys.dot priority phase?
Prepare your SMD well before the ichthys.dot priority phase, since TMCH validation takes time you do not control. Having a valid SMD ready means you can submit the moment priority opens for ichthys.dot. Late preparation risks missing the window. Get set up and register at https://domain.pay/register.
Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for BNPL checkout?
Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.
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.
