Frequently asked questions about melina.dot

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for digital wallets?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

Why is melina.dot listed at $100 for pre-order?

The $100 figure is the standard pre-order price to reserve melina.dot ahead of general availability, and it is refundable if the attempt to register melina.dot fails per the stated policy. Priority registrations may differ. See the full breakdown for melina.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain for a crypto or DeFi product?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Why explore the catalog instead of fixating on melina.dot?

Exploring domain.pay's catalog instead of fixating on melina.dot can reveal a clearer or shorter payment name than your first melina.dot idea. Open browsing often surfaces a better fit you hadn't considered. Explore the catalog at https://domain.pay/domains.

For digital wallets, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

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.
