Frequently asked questions about phoney.dot

As a brand-protection manager, 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.

How do I know if phoney.dot qualifies for trademark priority?

phoney.dot qualifies for trademark priority if you hold a valid trademark on phoney.dot recorded in the TMCH with an SMD file. With that, you can claim phoney.dot during the registry's priority window. Start the trademark-priority process for phoney.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain for payroll disbursements?

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.

Is there a notice system that warns me if phoney.dot is being registered?

Yes. The TMCH Claims Service sends notices when someone attempts to register a name matching your recorded phoney.dot mark, such as phoney.dot, during the applicable period. This gives NicNames early warning, though acting first is still strongest. https://domain.pay/pricing

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 when choosing tap.pay?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

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.
