Frequently asked questions about retire.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for crypto payments?

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.

Should I redirect retire.dot with a 301 or 302?

Use a 301 when the move is permanent so search engines transfer ranking signals to the destination of retire.dot; use a 302 only for temporary forwarding. For a brand domain like retire.dot pointing at your main site indefinitely, 301 is almost always correct. Avoid chaining multiple redirects.

Is .PAY a good fit for subscription billing when choosing settle.pay?

.PAY can work for subscription billing, account payment, renewal and failed-payment recovery flows. Search brandable options on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. A clear .PAY label can reduce confusion when customers need to update payment details.

How does trademark priority work when registering retire.dot?

If retire.dot matches a trademark you hold, you can claim priority through the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) using a Signed Mark Data (SMD) file. Validated marks get first access to retire.dot during the registry's sunrise phase. Have your SMD ready before pre-ordering retire.dot.

Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for mobile money?

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.

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.
