Frequently asked questions about name.dot
When should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments?
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.
Which industries gain the most from name.dot?
Retail, hospitality, SaaS, and nonprofits all gain when name.dot becomes their dedicated payment address, because each relies on a clear moment of payment. The .PAY ending fits any sector that asks customers to pay online. Compare names at https://domain.pay/domains.
Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for BNPL checkout?
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.
When is it too late to pre-order name.dot?
It becomes too late to pre-order name.dot once its phase has opened and the name is registered by someone else. Pre-ordering well before that, with domain.pay, keeps name.dot within reach. Act before the window at https://domain.pay/register.
How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup for BNPL checkout?
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.
