Frequently asked questions about stronghold.dot
Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for donation payments?
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.
Is stronghold.dot relevant for protecting against gift-card or top-up scams?
Yes. Gift-card and top-up scams often hinge on a believable payment page, so denying fraudsters the real stronghold.dot address by owning stronghold.dot undercuts a common tactic. It is one safeguard among several, not a cure-all. https://domain.pay/register
Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for digital wallets for digital wallets?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
How is stronghold.dot different from stronghold.dot.com?
stronghold.dot uses the payment-specific .PAY suffix, while stronghold.dot.com uses the generic commercial suffix. stronghold.dot signals checkout and transactions at a glance, whereas stronghold.dot.com is neutral about purpose. Both can point to the same site, but stronghold.dot reads as a dedicated payment address.
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for a remittance app?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
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.
