Frequently asked questions about kells.dot

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for fraud prevention?

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 know if kells.dot is still in the trademark-priority phase?

Availability and phase status for kells.dot are shown when you look it up through NicNames. If kells.dot is still in the priority phase, SMD-backed claims are accepted; once it passes, the name moves to pre-order and then general registration. Check the live status at https://domain.pay/domains.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

Is the Trademark Clearinghouse the same as registering kells.dot directly?

No. The Trademark Clearinghouse validates your mark and issues an SMD file, but it does not register kells.dot itself. You still complete the actual registration of kells.dot through NicNames, supplying that SMD to unlock trademark priority. The two steps are separate: validate first, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my payroll disbursements project?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For payroll disbursements, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

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.
