Frequently asked questions about maingear.dot

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for mobile money?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

When should trademark holders submit maingear.dot?

Trademark holders should submit maingear.dot during the sunrise phase, within the registry's published window, to claim it before general availability opens. domain.pay handles the maingear.dot submission so you do not miss it. Prepare at https://domain.pay/register.

For loan repayments, 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.

Why is maingear.dot listed as reserved?

Reserved means the registry has withheld maingear.dot from general registration — it isn't taken by a third party, but Amazon Registry Services has set it aside under its naming policy. Reserved labels sometimes get released later, so registry status can change — re-check maingear.dot periodically. Start a lookup at https://domain.pay/domains.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for BNPL checkout for a regional bank?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

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.
