Frequently asked questions about scones.dot
As a checkout product manager, what are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027?
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.
Can I register scones.dot immediately or must I pre-order?
If general availability has started and scones.dot is open, you can register it immediately; before launch or for first-day demand, a pre-order queues scones.dot instead. The path adapts to scones.dot's timing. Check which applies to scones.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain?
domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.
What is the difference between defensive and active use of scones.dot?
Defensive use means registering scones.dot mainly to keep it away from impersonators, while active use means running your real payment flows on it. Either way, owning scones.dot protects the scones.dot name; many brands start defensively and activate later. https://domain.pay/register
What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium 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.
