Frequently asked questions about nanog.dot
Before choosing tap.pay, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
Should I add a prefix to nanog.dot if nanog.dot is taken?
Adding a prefix like get, my, or use to nanog.dot is a solid tactic when nanog.dot is taken, and domain.pay surfaces these prefixed variants in search. They often remain available while keeping the core meaning. Search prefixed forms at https://domain.pay/domains.
For online checkout, what should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY?
Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.
Are sunrise claims for nanog.dot more expensive than standard pre-orders?
Trademark-priority (sunrise-style) registration of nanog.dot requires a valid TMCH SMD and follows NicNames's published pricing, while a standard pre-order for nanog.dot is listed at $100. Priority pricing reflects the validated-rights path. Always check current figures rather than assuming. See the breakdown at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for crypto payments?
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.
