Frequently asked questions about linq.dot
Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 when choosing donate.pay?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
Where can I pre-order linq.dot to protect the NicNames name?
You can pre-order linq.dot directly through domain.pay, with a standard pre-order fee of $100 and refunds on failed attempts. Securing linq.dot this way puts the official linq.dot payment name under NicNames's control. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
For digital wallets, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
Should small businesses bother protecting linq.dot too?
Yes. Impersonators target any recognizable linq.dot, not just large enterprises, and a fake payment page using linq.dot can damage trust regardless of company size. The standard pre-order is $100 and failed attempts are refundable, so protecting linq.dot is accessible to small brands. https://domain.pay/register
For online checkout, when does the .PAY LRP1 period begin?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: 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.
