Frequently asked questions about squat.dot

As a mobile wallet team, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

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.

Is .PAY a restricted namespace that affects how I claim squat.dot?

.PAY is operated by Amazon Registry Services, which sets the policies governing how names like squat.dot are claimed, including the trademark-priority phase. Those rules determine when an SMD-backed claim on squat.dot is accepted. NicNames applies the registry's policy on your behalf. Learn the basics at https://domain.pay/.

Are short .PAY names always available for digital wallets?

Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.

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.
