Frequently asked questions about restores.dot

Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken when choosing trust.pay?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

What happens if I let restores.dot expire after registering it?

If restores.dot lapses, it can be re-registered by someone else, reopening the impersonation risk you closed. Keep restores.dot renewed so the restores.dot name stays continuously under NicNames's control. Manage your registration at https://domain.pay/.

For loan repayments, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

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.

Will restores.dot require periodic re-validation?

The .PAY registry typically validates restores.dot around registration rather than on a fixed periodic schedule, though policies can evolve. Keeping accurate data helps avoid issues at renewal. domain.pay informs you of any registry requests over time; start at https://domain.pay/register.
