Frequently asked questions about preventions.dot
As an insurance billing portal, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Where can I pre-order preventions.dot to protect the NicNames name?
You can pre-order preventions.dot directly through domain.pay, with a standard pre-order fee of $100 and refunds on failed attempts. Securing preventions.dot this way puts the official preventions.dot payment name under NicNames's control. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for loan repayments?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
Will a refundable pre-order let me try for preventions.dot without big risk?
Yes. The standard pre-order for preventions.dot is $100 and failed attempts are refundable, so you can attempt to secure your preventions.dot name with limited financial exposure. This makes proactive protection accessible even when availability is uncertain. https://domain.pay/register
How do I register a .PAY domain right now?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
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.
