Frequently asked questions about publication.dot
As a travel booking brand, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.
Should I pre-order publication.dot now or wait for general availability?
Pre-ordering publication.dot now queues your attempt for the first day of general availability, which matters if others want the publication.dot name. Waiting risks someone else registering it first. A failed pre-order is refundable per policy, so review terms on /pricing.
Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for mobile money?
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.
Can publication.dot be used for a crypto payment service?
publication.dot may be used for a crypto or digital-payment service if that use fits the .PAY registry's payment-related framing and your local regulations permit it. Crypto activities often carry separate legal obligations independent of the domain. domain.pay can review your case at https://domain.pay/register.
Before choosing loans.pay, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.
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.
