Frequently asked questions about shep.dot

When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain for payroll disbursements?

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.

How do I set up a www and non-www version of shep.dot?

Create a CNAME (or matching A record) for www.shep.dot alongside the apex, then pick one canonical version and 301-redirect the other. Consistency tells search engines which form of shep.dot to index and avoids duplicate-content dilution. Decide canonical before launch.

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for BNPL checkout?

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.

How do I start a trademark-priority claim for shep.dot?

To claim shep.dot via trademark priority, register shep.dot with the TMCH, obtain your SMD file, and submit it through domain.pay during the registry's priority window. We support this path for shep.dot. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Does .PAY have anti-abuse rules for a travel booking brand?

Amazon Registry policies include abuse-prevention rules for .PAY, and registrants remain subject to applicable domain dispute and abuse procedures. For legitimate registration or pre-order, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Pair the domain with monitoring, SSL and clear customer messaging.

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.
