Frequently asked questions about sambal.dot

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for an ecommerce brand?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

Why is impersonation on sambal.dot harder for customers to detect?

Because .PAY implies a payment purpose, customers tend to assume any sambal.dot address under it is legitimate, lowering their guard. That assumption is exactly why an unprotected sambal.dot is dangerous and why NicNames should own it. https://domain.pay/register

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY when choosing bank.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.

Does sambal.dot get a trademark claims notice during registration?

When a name like sambal.dot matches a TMCH-recorded mark, registrants attempting it can receive a trademark claims notice flagging the existing rights. This warns non-owners before they proceed with sambal.dot. The mechanism relies on the same TMCH data behind SMD priority. Learn more and register at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto for mobile money?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

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.
