Frequently asked questions about sommelier.dot
As a checkout product manager, 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.
When can I register sommelier.dot on the first day?
First-day registration follows the registry's launch schedule set by Amazon Registry Services; domain.pay queues your first-day pre-order for sommelier.dot so it's submitted as soon as the window opens. We don't set the date — the registry does. Queue sommelier.dot now at https://domain.pay/register.
As a remittance app, who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
How does owning sommelier.dot protect first-time customers most?
First-time customers have no prior reference for the real sommelier.dot address, so they are especially vulnerable to a convincing fake. When NicNames owns sommelier.dot and promotes it as official, newcomers are guided to the genuine payment page. https://domain.pay/register
How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain when choosing donate.pay?
domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.
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.
