Frequently asked questions about socio.dot
For crypto payments, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
Can I reserve socio.dot now if my SMD is not ready yet?
If your SMD is not ready, you can place a standard pre-order for socio.dot at $100 to express interest, but that pre-order does not carry trademark priority. A validated SMD holder can still claim socio.dot ahead of your pre-order, which is refundable per policy if unfulfilled. Review options at https://domain.pay/pricing.
When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for a brand-protection manager?
ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Where do I manage the DNS settings for socio.dot?
You manage nameservers and DNS records for socio.dot from your account's domain dashboard. From there you can edit A, CNAME, MX, and TXT records and toggle auto-renew for socio.dot. Open the dashboard at /domains to make changes.
For payroll disbursements, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?
Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.
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.
