Frequently asked questions about sido.dot
As an event ticketing business, when should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain?
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 priority phases differ from general availability for sido.dot?
In priority phases, verified sido.dot trademark holders use SMD files to claim sido.dot before the public, while general availability opens sido.dot to anyone. Using the priority window is the cleanest way for NicNames to avoid a race or dispute. https://domain.pay/pricing
Where can I see the exact .PAY premium price for bank.pay for a bank or credit union?
Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.
Are there eligibility differences for premium sido.dot names?
Premium sido.dot names follow the same .PAY eligibility and validation expectations as standard names; the difference is usually pricing rather than who may register. The registry's payment-related focus still applies. domain.pay shows premium status and pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.
When is the .PAY Sunrise period for fraud prevention?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
