Frequently asked questions about payday.dot

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name for fraud prevention?

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 customers tell the difference between payday.dot and a lookalike?

Many customers cannot reliably spot a lookalike of the payday.dot name, especially under a payment-implying TLD where they expect legitimacy. That is why owning the exact payday.dot and promoting it as the only official payment address matters so much for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register

Can I use nameservers and DNS like other domains with .PAY for fraud prevention?

After registration, plan DNS, SSL, redirects, security monitoring and payment-page controls as you would for a production domain. Start by securing the .PAY name through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. A domain alone does not make a checkout secure.

What is the safest way to secure payday.dot as a trademark owner?

As a trademark owner, the safest path to payday.dot is to record your payday.dot mark in the TMCH, obtain a valid SMD, and submit it through NicNames as soon as the priority phase opens. This gives payday.dot the validated-rights advantage over public registrations. Begin securing payday.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for 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.
