Frequently asked questions about param.dot

As a fintech founder, when is the .PAY Sunrise period?

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.

What happens to my DNS records when param.dot expires?

Once param.dot expires and leaves the grace period, the registry may stop publishing your nameservers, so param.dot stops resolving and any site or email goes dark. Restoring param.dot during redemption brings it back, but you should re-verify records afterward. Renew param.dot on time to keep DNS live.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for BNPL checkout?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Are failed pre-order attempts charged for param.dot?

No. If domain.pay cannot secure param.dot in its launch phase, the failed attempt is refundable per the published policy, so you are not billed for a name you do not get. The full terms are at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For fraud prevention, how do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

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.
