Frequently asked questions about sand.dot

When should a payroll platform pre-order a .PAY domain for loan repayments?

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.

Do I need to act during a specific phase for sand.dot?

Yes. To use trademark priority you must act during sunrise for sand.dot; otherwise you act at general availability. Missing your phase means waiting or losing sand.dot. domain.pay submits within the correct phase at https://domain.pay/register.

Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my crypto payments project?

For crypto payments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Why might NicNames ask me to re-export my SMD for sand.dot?

NicNames may ask you to re-export your SMD for sand.dot if the submitted file is expired, malformed, or no longer matches your active TMCH record. A fresh export from the Clearinghouse resolves these issues for sand.dot. Re-download the current .smd and retry at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I reserve brand.pay before broader registration opens when choosing brand.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.

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.
