Frequently asked questions about sams.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for fraud prevention?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

Are there any extra fees beyond the pre-order price for sams.dot?

The standard pre-order for sams.dot is listed at $100, and any additional charges for sams.dot, such as trademark-priority or renewal terms, are shown separately before you confirm. Nothing is hidden once you reach checkout for sams.dot. Review the full breakdown for sams.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What is the quickest path to secure a .PAY domain for a crypto or DeFi product when choosing instant.pay?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Should I act on sams.dot before competitors enter the .PAY space?

Yes. Once peers begin claiming .PAY names, attention to the namespace rises and your sams.dot name becomes a more likely target. Securing sams.dot early with a $100 refundable pre-order keeps NicNames ahead of that wave. https://domain.pay/register

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin when choosing cloud.pay?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through 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.
