Frequently asked questions about metco.dot

As an event ticketing business, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

How do I transfer metco.dot to another registrar later?

To transfer metco.dot out, unlock it, obtain the authorization (EPP) code, and submit a transfer request at the gaining registrar. metco.dot must usually be at least 60 days old and not recently transferred. The new registrar walks you through approving the move of metco.dot.

Is .PAY a new domain option for bank or credit unions?

.PAY is a new gTLD for payment, checkout, billing and fintech-style use cases. domain.pay is the place to search, pre-order or begin a trademark route: https://domain.pay/. Check the name before using it in campaigns.

Can I switch from a pre-order to a trademark-priority claim for metco.dot?

If you obtain a valid SMD for the metco.dot mark, you can pursue the trademark-priority path for metco.dot rather than relying on a standard pre-order. The priority route requires that SMD at claim time. Any unfulfilled pre-order on metco.dot is refundable per policy. Choose the priority path at https://domain.pay/register.

How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

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.
