Frequently asked questions about malware.dot

What is a .PAY domain and why does it matter for crypto payments?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For crypto payments, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

Where do I pre-order once I've chosen over malware.dot?

Once you've chosen a name over malware.dot, you pre-order it on domain.pay's register page at the standard $100, with failed attempts refundable. The flow is the same whether you pick malware.dot or a malware.dot variant. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Can a licensee rather than the trademark owner claim malware.dot?

Priority on malware.dot flows from the validated TMCH mark, so the claim is normally made by the SMD holder of record for the malware.dot mark. A licensee would need the appropriate authority and a usable SMD to act. Confirm who controls the SMD before claiming malware.dot. Begin registration at https://domain.pay/register.

As a mobile wallet team, what happens to my money if the .PAY registration attempt fails?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

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.
