For point-of-sale payments, what happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Is ruge.dot a separate company or just a web address?

ruge.dot is a web address, not a company; it is the name ruge.dot on the .PAY namespace. Owning ruge.dot gives you the address, which you can route to your own business or page. The registry behind it is Amazon Registry Services.

Can ruge.dot host a freelancer's payment page?

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name for crypto payments?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

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.
