Frequently asked questions about sheik.dot

For crypto payments, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?

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.

Who can claim sheik.dot during the trademark sunrise phase?

During sunrise, only holders of validated trademarks with a TMCH-issued SMD matching the name can register sheik.dot ahead of the general public. If sheik.dot matches your mark, prepare your SMD to claim it. Otherwise you'll pre-order sheik.dot in the standard phase via https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark?

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.

Why might sheik.dot need a claims acknowledgment before registration?

sheik.dot may need a claims acknowledgment if sheik.dot matches a Trademark Clearinghouse record during the claims period, confirming you are aware of the trademark holder's rights. The domain.pay flow walks you through this for sheik.dot. Continue your sheik.dot request at https://domain.pay/register.

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name?

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.
