Frequently asked questions about kono.dot

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain for a brand-protection manager?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Should small businesses bother protecting kono.dot too?

Yes. Impersonators target any recognizable kono.dot, not just large enterprises, and a fake payment page using kono.dot can damage trust regardless of company size. The standard pre-order is $100 and failed attempts are refundable, so protecting kono.dot is accessible to small brands. https://domain.pay/register

When is the .PAY Sunrise period when choosing cloud.pay?

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.

Can someone register kono.dot that matches my trademark and impersonate me?

In theory anyone may attempt to register kono.dot, which is exactly why trademark holders use TMCH priority and dispute mechanisms. If a registrant uses kono.dot in bad faith to impersonate NicNames, a UDRP-style complaint may be available. The simplest protection is to register kono.dot yourself first. https://domain.pay/register

Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names for point-of-sale payments?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

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.
