Frequently asked questions about rates.dot
Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for fraud prevention for fraud prevention?
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.
How does VIP priority handling work for rates.dot?
VIP priority handling places your rates.dot request ahead in our processing queue so it is submitted to the registry as quickly as possible at the drop or general availability. It does not guarantee allocation, since the registry makes the final assignment for rates.dot. Learn more at https://domain.pay/pricing.
What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for mobile money?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
What makes rates.dot memorable compared to a long URL?
rates.dot is short, ends in a meaningful word, and ties directly to the brand rates.dot. People remember rates.dot more easily than a long string of folders and query parameters. That memorability matters when a customer types the address from a receipt or a card.
How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration for crypto payments?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
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.
