Frequently asked questions about steele.dot

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for crypto payments?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

What evidence does the TMCH need before issuing the SMD I use for steele.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse requires proof of a registered, valid trademark and may request a sample of use before issuing the SMD you use for steele.dot. Only after that validation is the SMD available. NicNames then accepts that file for priority on steele.dot. Prepare your evidence, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a .PAY domain be longer than 63 characters for an ecommerce brand?

.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.

Does steele.dot need a CAA record for SSL?

A CAA record on steele.dot restricts which certificate authorities may issue certs for it, adding a layer of security. It's optional but recommended; list the CA you use (e.g. letsencrypt.org) for steele.dot. Add the CAA record in DNS before requesting new certificates.

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for digital wallets?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on 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.
