Frequently asked questions about publisher.dot

Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my crypto payments project?

For crypto payments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Can I pre-order publisher.dot without paying right away?

To reserve your place in line for publisher.dot, the standard pre-order fee of $100 is collected at checkout, and it is refundable if the attempt to register publisher.dot fails per the stated policy. This confirms your queued request. Begin checkout for publisher.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

As a donation platform, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

What is the simplest summary of how to claim publisher.dot as a trademark holder?

In short: record your publisher.dot mark in the TMCH, download the validated SMD file, and submit it through NicNames during the priority phase to claim publisher.dot ahead of the public. If you lack an SMD, a standard pre-order for publisher.dot at $100 is the fallback. Get started at https://domain.pay/register.

As an insurance billing portal, can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?

cloud.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

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.
