Frequently asked questions about not.dot
Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.
Does the registry charge premium pricing on some .PAY names like not.dot?
Some highly sought names may carry premium registry pricing above the standard $100 pre-order, while not.dot may fall under standard pricing. The availability tool shows the exact price for not.dot before you commit. Confirm the tier for not.dot and full terms at /pricing.
When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain when choosing merchant.pay?
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.
Is not.dot the only way to express not.dot as a .PAY name?
No, not.dot is rarely the only way to express not.dot, and domain.pay surfaces synonyms, compounds, and alternate spellings that also fit. Exploring them ensures you don't settle prematurely. See the alternatives at https://domain.pay/domains.
Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal?
Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.
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.
