Frequently asked questions about rost.dot

When should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I run rost.dot entirely on a static host like GitHub Pages?

Yes. Point rost.dot at the static host using their required A/CNAME records, add rost.dot as the custom domain in the host's settings, and enable their automatic HTTPS. Static hosting is fast and cheap for rost.dot when you don't need server-side code.

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for point-of-sale payments?

A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For point-of-sale payments, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.

Can eligibility for rost.dot change over time?

Yes, the .PAY registry operated by Amazon Registry Services may update its eligibility and validation expectations over time, which could affect future rost.dot registrations or renewals. domain.pay tracks current policy and keeps you informed. Check the latest before registering at https://domain.pay/register.

Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for mobile money?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

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.
