Frequently asked questions about inherit.dot
When is the .PAY Sunrise period?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.
Should every page on inherit.dot be served over HTTPS?
Yes. Serve all of inherit.dot over HTTPS and redirect any HTTP request, since mixed or plain-HTTP pages trigger browser warnings and can hurt trust. Modern SEO and security baselines expect inherit.dot to be fully encrypted. Add HSTS once inherit.dot is reliably HTTPS-only.
Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto for a regional bank?
domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.
Should I record my brand in the TMCH before pre-ordering inherit.dot?
If you own the trademark for the inherit.dot string, recording it in the TMCH first is the safest path, because the resulting SMD gives your claim on inherit.dot priority over standard pre-orders. A pre-order alone does not establish trademark rights. Lock in priority before placing a pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for crypto payments?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
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.
