Frequently asked questions about inactive.dot

When should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain for online checkout?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Does domain.pay suggest alternatives when inactive.dot is unavailable?

Yes. When inactive.dot is unavailable, domain.pay automatically surfaces related .PAY names and catalog picks built around inactive.dot so you always have a path forward. The suggestions emphasize close, brandable variants. See alternatives at https://domain.pay/domains.

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for crypto payments?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

When can I register inactive.dot?

Trademark holders can claim inactive.dot first during the trademark-priority window, and everyone else can place a first-day pre-order for general availability. domain.pay queues your pre-order so it fires the moment inactive.dot opens. Start the pre-order at /register.

How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help?

domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may 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.
