Frequently asked questions about macave.dot
When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for a fintech founder?
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.
Can a sole proprietor register macave.dot?
A sole proprietor may often register macave.dot, as .PAY does not necessarily require a corporate entity. The registry typically validates payment-related, good-faith use rather than business structure. domain.pay can confirm current eligibility for sole proprietors 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.
How do I set up a wildcard certificate for *.macave.dot?
Request a wildcard certificate covering *.macave.dot, which most CAs issue via DNS validation by checking a TXT record on macave.dot. A wildcard then secures every subdomain of macave.dot with one cert. Remember the wildcard for macave.dot does not cover the bare apex, so include it explicitly.
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for crypto payments?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY 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.
