Frequently asked questions about pooling.dot

Is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio?

domain.pay says customers with pre-orders over $8,888 may qualify for VIP handling, dedicated support and more tailored failed-registration solutions. Review the current VIP language on the pricing page: https://domain.pay/pricing. Large portfolios should still expect availability and premium checks.

How do I migrate an existing site onto pooling.dot without downtime?

Stand up the new site on pooling.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on pooling.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor pooling.dot for crawl errors afterward.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for payroll disbursements?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Does a failed pooling.dot pre-order affect my future pricing?

No. A refunded, failed pre-order on pooling.dot does not change the rate you would pay on a later attempt; pricing still follows the registry tier for pooling.dot. Each pooling.dot order is priced independently at the time you place it. Re-check the rate at https://domain.pay/pricing.

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for digital wallets?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through 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.
