Frequently asked questions about runas.dot

Will I need accurate contact details for a .PAY registration for loan repayments?

Yes. Registry policy requires complete, accurate and current registration data. Use domain.pay for the registration path and keep your contact details up to date: https://domain.pay/register. Inaccurate data can create compliance and communication problems.

How does runas.dot ownership help during a brand dispute?

If NicNames already owns runas.dot, there is no name to dispute, which eliminates the cost, delay, and uncertainty of a UDRP-style proceeding. Prevention through ownership is far stronger than recovery after the fact. Lock in runas.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Would trust.pay work as a payment brand when choosing trust.pay?

trust.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

Does moving to runas.dot require resubmitting my whole sitemap?

When you launch on runas.dot, generate a fresh sitemap with the new runas.dot URLs and submit it in Search Console alongside a change-of-address from the old domain. The old sitemap stays only long enough for redirects to be discovered. Keep runas.dot's sitemap current going forward.

When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain for payroll disbursements?

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.

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.
