Frequently asked questions about spl.dot
What should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY for a travel booking brand?
Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.
How much do I save registering spl.dot at the standard rate?
Registering spl.dot at the $100 standard rate avoids the higher recurring fees of a premium classification, which the registry applies only to certain spl.dot strings. The saving depends entirely on whether spl.dot is premium. Confirm the rate for spl.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
When is the .PAY Sunrise period for fraud prevention?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
Why might spl.dot be available when the .com is not?
Popular .com names are largely registered after decades of use, but .PAY is a newer namespace, so spl.dot may still be open. That gives spl.dot a chance to own a clean, on-brand payment address. Check spl.dot availability at /register.
Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring?
No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
