Frequently asked questions about span.dot

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for marketplace payouts?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

What is the difference between standard and first-day pre-order for span.dot?

A first-day pre-order targets span.dot for the very first day of general availability, while a standard pre-order at $100 simply queues your request for span.dot whenever it opens. Both are submitted to the registry on your behalf. Compare options for span.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use .PAY for redirects to my existing checkout for payroll disbursements?

Yes, you can use a .PAY domain as a clean branded entry point or redirect to an existing checkout, but implement redirects, SSL and tracking carefully. First secure or pre-order the label through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Will NicNames store my SMD file after registering span.dot?

NicNames uses your SMD file to validate and process your priority claim on span.dot during registration. The SMD itself is tied to your TMCH record, which the Clearinghouse maintains independently. Handle your SMD securely since it represents your validated rights to span.dot. Begin registration at https://domain.pay/register.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for a payroll platform?

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.
