Frequently asked questions about installs.dot
What happens to my money if the .PAY registration attempt fails for crypto payments?
domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.
Where do I document my trademark to protect installs.dot?
You record your installs.dot trademark in the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), which verifies your rights and issues an SMD file used to claim installs.dot during priority phases and to receive registration notices. This is the standard route for protecting brand names. https://domain.pay/pricing
For online checkout, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
How do I prove the label in installs.dot is mine during priority?
You prove the installs.dot string in installs.dot is yours by submitting a valid TMCH SMD file whose encoded mark matches that string. NicNames verifies the signed file automatically to grant priority. No other paperwork substitutes for the SMD on installs.dot. Provide it during registration at https://domain.pay/register.
What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for fraud prevention?
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.
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.
