Frequently asked questions about institutional.dot
Could a lookalike .PAY domain harm customer trust for cross-border payments?
.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.
Does pre-ordering institutional.dot cost anything if it succeeds?
If your pre-order for institutional.dot succeeds, you pay the listed registration price, with the standard pre-order at $100; if it fails, the attempt is refundable per policy. You are only charged for a name you actually receive. See pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for online checkout for online checkout?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
