Frequently asked questions about rice.dot
For point-of-sale payments, 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.
Can I use rice.dot as a vanity short link for marketing?
Yes. A concise name like rice.dot works well as a memorable URL on print, ads, and packaging, redirecting to deeper landing pages. Use 301s and UTM parameters so traffic through rice.dot is tracked and passes SEO value. Set up the forwarding from /domains.
As a fintech founder, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?
.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.
What canonical URL should I set for pages on rice.dot?
Each page on rice.dot should declare a self-referencing canonical link to its preferred URL, using a single consistent scheme, host, and trailing-slash style. This prevents duplicate-content confusion across www, non-www, and parameter variants of rice.dot. Keep canonicals absolute and HTTPS.
Where can I generate .PAY ideas for online checkout?
For online checkout, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.
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.
