Frequently asked questions about pointer.dot

Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for BNPL checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

How do I choose between pointer.dot and a coined alternative for trademarks?

For trademark strength, a coined alternative may protect more easily than the descriptive pointer.dot, though pointer.dot reads clearer for pointer.dot. domain.pay shows both so you can weigh protectability against clarity. Note that mark holders can claim TMCH SMD priority. Compare at https://domain.pay/domains.

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for fraud prevention?

.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.

Does pointer.dot require a separate account to upload my SMD?

You complete the SMD upload for pointer.dot within the NicNames registration flow, which guides you through providing the file and your details. The trademark-priority step for pointer.dot happens in that same flow rather than a separate portal. Begin and upload your SMD at https://domain.pay/register.

Where can I see already-registered .PAY domains for fraud prevention?

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.
