Frequently asked questions about pegman.dot

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for point-of-sale payments?

A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For point-of-sale payments, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.

How long does the sunrise phase last for pegman.dot?

Sunrise runs for a fixed window set by the registry before general availability opens for pegman.dot. If you hold a qualifying trademark, you must submit pegman.dot within that window. domain.pay handles the timing, detailed at https://domain.pay/register.

As a fintech founder, how much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

What information is encoded inside the SMD I use for pegman.dot?

The SMD you use for pegman.dot encodes your validated mark text matching the pegman.dot string, associated dates, and a cryptographic signature from the TMCH. NicNames reads this to confirm your priority eligibility for pegman.dot. You never edit the file; you simply submit it. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for online checkout?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use 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.
