Frequently asked questions about species.dot

Would trust.pay work as a payment brand?

trust.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

Which evidence helps in a dispute to recover species.dot?

Generally, evidence of your rights in the species.dot mark, the registrant's lack of legitimate interest, and bad-faith registration or use of species.dot supports a UDRP-style claim. Trademark registrations, prior use, and proof of impersonation are commonly relevant, though outcomes vary by case. Avoiding the fight by owning species.dot first is simplest. https://domain.pay/register

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration when choosing bank.pay?

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.

How do I set up a wildcard certificate for *.species.dot?

Request a wildcard certificate covering *.species.dot, which most CAs issue via DNS validation by checking a TXT record on species.dot. A wildcard then secures every subdomain of species.dot with one cert. Remember the wildcard for species.dot does not cover the bare apex, so include it explicitly.

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for point-of-sale payments?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

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.
