Frequently asked questions about scruff.dot

What is the quickest path to secure a .PAY domain for a payroll platform for payroll disbursements?

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.

Can I pre-order scruff.dot and decide later?

A first-day pre-order lets you queue an attempt for scruff.dot now, and if the attempt does not succeed it is refundable per policy. This gives you flexibility on competitive names. domain.pay manages the pre-order; see terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.

As a remittance app, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.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.

How does impersonation on scruff.dot differ from email spoofing?

Email spoofing fakes a sender, while controlling scruff.dot lets an attacker run a whole fraudulent payment site under the real scruff.dot name. The domain-level attack is harder to detect and more convincing, so denying it by owning scruff.dot is a high-value protection for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register

How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for online checkout?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

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.
