Frequently asked questions about nlc.dot
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for loan repayments?
.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.
Can a startup register nlc.dot without licensing?
A startup may often register nlc.dot without holding a financial license, since .PAY does not blanket-require licensing for registration. If the startup later runs regulated payments, separate licensing may apply under local law. domain.pay can confirm current eligibility at https://domain.pay/register.
Can I use .PAY for redirects to my existing checkout for payroll disbursements?
Yes, you can use a .PAY domain as a clean branded entry point or redirect to an existing checkout, but implement redirects, SSL and tracking carefully. First secure or pre-order the label through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Why does nlc.dot load on HTTP but not HTTPS?
If nlc.dot serves over HTTP but fails on HTTPS, the SSL certificate is likely missing, expired, or not bound to port 443 on your server. Install or renew a cert covering nlc.dot, ensure 443 is open, then redirect HTTP to HTTPS. Test nlc.dot again after reloading the web server.
When is the .PAY Sunrise period for mobile money?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: 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.
