Frequently asked questions about oyster.dot

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY when choosing subscriptions.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.

How do I add a subdomain like blog.oyster.dot?

Create a DNS record for the subdomain — typically a CNAME pointing blog.oyster.dot at your host, or an A record to its IP. The subdomain of oyster.dot inherits nothing automatically, so configure SSL and hosting for it separately. Manage records for oyster.dot via /domains.

Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order for a payroll platform?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

Will oyster.dot help customers recognize a payment link?

A link ending in .PAY like oyster.dot signals payment context before a customer even clicks. That clarity can reduce hesitation compared with an unfamiliar or generic URL. Because Amazon Registry Services runs .PAY, the suffix carries a consistent, purpose-built meaning.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for point-of-sale payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at 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.
