Frequently asked questions about referees.dot

For fraud prevention, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?

.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.

Does referees.dot cost more if multiple bidders want it?

The listed rate for referees.dot is fixed by the registry tier for referees.dot, so demand alone does not raise the standard $100 or premium price. Contention is resolved by registry allocation, and losing pre-orders on referees.dot are refundable. Review the process at https://domain.pay/pricing.

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for loan repayments?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What is a redemption period and how does it affect referees.dot?

After referees.dot expires and the grace period ends, it enters a redemption period where only the registrant can restore it, typically for a higher fee than a normal renewal. If redemption lapses, referees.dot is deleted and re-released. Renewing referees.dot on time avoids these costs entirely.

What is the quickest path to secure a .PAY domain for an event ticketing business for an event ticketing business?

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.
