Frequently asked questions about paren.dot
During the .PAY launch, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
What documentation proves my paren.dot pre-order is refundable?
Your order confirmation and account history record the paren.dot pre-order and its status, and if the attempt fails the refund follows our stated policy automatically. These records show that the failed paren.dot attempt qualified. Review them and the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.
What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium for loan repayments?
A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.
Can I check paren.dot availability before launch?
You can check the status of paren.dot on domain.pay before its launch phases and decide whether to pre-order. This helps you plan around sunrise and general availability for paren.dot. Check it at https://domain.pay/domains.
During the .PAY launch, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
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.
