Frequently asked questions about index.dot
Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my crypto payments project?
For crypto payments, .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/.
Can two trademark holders both claim index.dot during priority?
More than one party may hold a valid TMCH mark for the index.dot string, so multiple SMD-backed claims on index.dot can arrive during the priority phase. When that happens, the registry resolves competing claims under its published rules rather than first-come alone. Each claimant still needs a valid SMD to be in contention. Start your claim at https://domain.pay/register.
What disputes can affect a .PAY Sunrise name for donation payments?
.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.
Are payment processors a fit for index.dot?
Payment processors are a strong fit for index.dot, given the .PAY namespace's payment orientation, and the registry's validation usually aligns well with their use. Their own regulatory duties remain separate. domain.pay can help a processor secure index.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Are IDN .PAY domains allowed for crypto payments?
IDN .PAY names may be possible only in supported scripts and must meet registry rules. Use domain.pay to check the exact label and punycode-style status before planning a launch: https://domain.pay/register. Availability, premium and policy restrictions 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.
