Frequently asked questions about softstar.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for digital wallets?

.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.

Is softstar.dot relevant for protecting against gift-card or top-up scams?

Yes. Gift-card and top-up scams often hinge on a believable payment page, so denying fraudsters the real softstar.dot address by owning softstar.dot undercuts a common tactic. It is one safeguard among several, not a cure-all. https://domain.pay/register

Does .PAY have anti-abuse rules for rent collection?

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.

How is premium different from reserved for softstar.dot?

For softstar.dot, premium means the registry allows registration but at a higher wholesale price, while reserved means Amazon Registry Services has withheld it from registration entirely. One is buyable at a special price; the other isn't open at all. Confirm which applies to softstar.dot — status can change — at https://domain.pay/domains.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for crypto payments?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

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.
