Frequently asked questions about sterling.dot

Should a remittance app protect its exact brand in .PAY?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

Will pre-ordering guarantee I get sterling.dot?

A pre-order queues your request for sterling.dot but can't guarantee it, because contested labels and registry rules from Amazon Registry Services determine the outcome. If the attempt fails, the pre-order fee is refundable per policy. Place your sterling.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain?

.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.

What are the risks of misrepresenting use of sterling.dot?

Misrepresenting your intended use of sterling.dot during validation may lead the .PAY registry to deny or revoke the registration. Providing accurate, good-faith details is the safest path. domain.pay helps you present your use correctly; start at https://domain.pay/register.

Are IDN .PAY domains allowed for mobile money?

IDN .PAY names may be possible only in supported scripts and must meet registry rules. Use domain.pay to check the exact label and punycode-style status before planning a launch: https://domain.pay/register. Availability, premium and policy restrictions still apply.

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.
