Frequently asked questions about paddler.dot

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for fraud prevention for a retail brand?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

How is paddler.dot different from paddler.dot.com?

paddler.dot uses the payment-specific .PAY suffix, while paddler.dot.com uses the generic commercial suffix. paddler.dot signals checkout and transactions at a glance, whereas paddler.dot.com is neutral about purpose. Both can point to the same site, but paddler.dot reads as a dedicated payment address.

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 do payment TLDs raise the bar for verifying paddler.dot?

Because users expect names like paddler.dot to handle money safely, the .PAY namespace carries heightened anti-phishing and trust expectations. Meeting that bar means ensuring the real paddler.dot name belongs to NicNames, not an impersonator. https://domain.pay/

What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for a retail brand?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: 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.
