Frequently asked questions about maracas.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for crypto payments?

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 migrate an existing site onto maracas.dot without downtime?

Stand up the new site on maracas.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on maracas.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor maracas.dot for crawl errors afterward.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for loan repayments?

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.

Does NicNames refund taxes on a failed maracas.dot pre-order?

When a maracas.dot pre-order attempt fails, the refund under our stated policy returns the amount you were charged, including taxes collected on that failed attempt where applicable. NicNames reconciles this with your payment provider. Read the refund terms for maracas.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period 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.

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.
