Frequently asked questions about kook.dot

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility when choosing bank.pay?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Why would a business choose kook.dot over a .com address?

kook.dot communicates payment intent in the name itself, which a generic .com cannot do. For checkout pages, invoices, or pay-now links, kook.dot is shorter and more memorable than appending /pay to a long .com URL. Many .com equivalents are also already taken, while kook.dot may still be available at /register.

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for fraud prevention?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Is it worth registering kook.dot defensively for my brand?

Holding kook.dot defensively keeps a brand-matching .PAY name out of others' hands and lets you redirect it to your main site. It's a common brand-protection step, especially in payments-adjacent industries. You can secure kook.dot via a standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use nameservers and DNS like other domains with .PAY?

After registration, plan DNS, SSL, redirects, security monitoring and payment-page controls as you would for a production domain. Start by securing the .PAY name through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. A domain alone does not make a checkout secure.

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.
