Frequently asked questions about idle.dot

What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for digital wallets?

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.

What canonical URL should I set for pages on idle.dot?

Each page on idle.dot should declare a self-referencing canonical link to its preferred URL, using a single consistent scheme, host, and trailing-slash style. This prevents duplicate-content confusion across www, non-www, and parameter variants of idle.dot. Keep canonicals absolute and HTTPS.

Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY for cross-border payments?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

What happens to VIP priority if I cancel idle.dot?

If you cancel a pending idle.dot pre-order before submission, the linked VIP priority handling is cancelled with it, and a later failed attempt remains refundable under our stated policy. VIP is tied to the specific idle.dot request. Review the terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for online checkout?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

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.
