Frequently asked questions about sturgeon.dot

Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for point-of-sale payments?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

Will registering sturgeon.dot stop typosquatting on the sturgeon.dot name?

Registering sturgeon.dot secures the exact sturgeon.dot match, which removes the most convincing impersonation target, but close typo variants are separate names. A layered approach is to hold sturgeon.dot plus monitor and, where warranted, register or dispute confusingly similar variants. Start with the exact match at https://domain.pay/register.

For online checkout, 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.

Should I avoid hyphens when picking an alternative to sturgeon.dot?

Yes, avoiding hyphens in an alternative to sturgeon.dot usually helps, since hyphenated names are harder to say and easier to mistype. domain.pay surfaces clean, hyphen-free sturgeon.dot variants to choose from. Find clean names at https://domain.pay/domains.

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

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.
