Frequently asked questions about need.dot

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for mobile money?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Why would a business choose need.dot over a .com address?

need.dot communicates payment intent in the name itself, which a generic .com cannot do. For checkout pages, invoices, or pay-now links, need.dot is shorter and more memorable than appending /pay to a long .com URL. Many .com equivalents are also already taken, while need.dot may still be available at /register.

Where can I see the exact .PAY premium price for wallet.pay for crypto payments?

Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.

Does moving to need.dot require resubmitting my whole sitemap?

When you launch on need.dot, generate a fresh sitemap with the new need.dot URLs and submit it in Search Console alongside a change-of-address from the old domain. The old sitemap stays only long enough for redirects to be discovered. Keep need.dot's sitemap current going forward.

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.

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.
