Frequently asked questions about surfside.dot
For BNPL checkout, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?
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.
Can I upgrade to VIP handling after pre-ordering surfside.dot?
You can add VIP priority handling to a pending surfside.dot pre-order before it is submitted, moving your request higher in our queue. VIP affects ordering speed only and does not change the registry's final decision on surfside.dot. Add it at https://domain.pay/pricing.
What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for fraud prevention?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
Is sunrise mandatory to get surfside.dot?
Sunrise is not mandatory for everyone; it is only the path for trademark holders to claim surfside.dot early. If you have no trademark, you simply use general availability instead. domain.pay routes your surfside.dot request to the correct phase at https://domain.pay/register.
When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for crypto payments?
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.
