Frequently asked questions about pilot.dot
Where can I generate .PAY ideas for crypto payments for a travel booking brand?
For crypto payments, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.
Does Amazon Registry Services control eligibility for pilot.dot?
Yes, .PAY is operated by Amazon Registry Services, which sets the eligibility and validation framework that pilot.dot falls under. domain.pay acts as your registration path and applies those registry policies. Learn how to register pilot.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
As a donation platform, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
Can I register pilot.dot during sunrise without a trademark?
No. Sunrise is exclusively for owners of TMCH-validated trademarks. Without a matching mark, you register pilot.dot during general availability instead, and a pre-order queues you for that. Start the GA route at https://domain.pay/register.
Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
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.
