Frequently asked questions about nicca.dot

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.

What MX priority values should I use for nicca.dot?

Set the lowest number on your primary mail server's MX for nicca.dot since lower priority is preferred, and use higher numbers for backups. Most providers give you the exact host and priority to enter for nicca.dot. Mismatched priorities can misroute mail for nicca.dot, so copy them precisely.

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for point-of-sale payments?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

What is the VIP fee for prioritizing nicca.dot?

The VIP priority handling fee for nicca.dot is shown alongside the registration rate at checkout and is separate from the $100 standard or premium nicca.dot fee. It buys faster queue placement, not a guaranteed outcome for nicca.dot. See the current VIP fee at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for point-of-sale payments?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

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.
