Frequently asked questions about novus.dot

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?

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.

Why isn't novus.dot resolving even though I added the records?

If novus.dot won't resolve, first confirm the nameservers at your registrar match where the zone is actually hosted, then check for typos in the A or CNAME values. Cached TTLs or a missing apex record are common culprits. Verify with a DNS query tool, and review your settings under /domains.

When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain for a crypto or DeFi product?

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.

Why might my pre-order for novus.dot not succeed?

A pre-order for novus.dot may not succeed if another applicant is allocated novus.dot, if the registry applies reserved-name or premium rules, or if priority claimants take precedence. In those cases the fee is refundable per the stated policy. Submit your pre-order for novus.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY for donation payments?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

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.
