Frequently asked questions about sputter.dot
For crypto payments, what is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?
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.
What is the difference between an A record and CNAME for sputter.dot?
An A record maps sputter.dot (or a subdomain) directly to an IP address, while a CNAME aliases a subdomain to another hostname. The apex of sputter.dot generally needs an A (or ALIAS) record, since classic CNAMEs aren't allowed at the root. Use CNAMEs for subdomains of sputter.dot.
For digital wallets, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?
.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.
When does sputter.dot expire and how do renewals work?
A registered sputter.dot renews annually, and you keep it as long as you renew before the expiry date. We recommend enabling auto-renew so sputter.dot never lapses by accident. You can review the renewal date and billing for sputter.dot and see current terms at /pricing.
Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check when choosing crypto.pay?
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.
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.
