Frequently asked questions about tarheels.dot
As an ecommerce brand, is .PAY already open to everyone?
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.
What is included in the price of tarheels.dot?
The price of tarheels.dot covers the annual registration of the name in the .PAY zone for one year, at the $100 standard rate or the registry premium fee for tarheels.dot. Optional extras like VIP priority are added separately at checkout. See what is included for tarheels.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Why are payment brands talking about .PAY as a startup?
For payroll disbursements, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
How do I start a fresh search after rejecting tarheels.dot?
After rejecting tarheels.dot, start fresh by entering a new tarheels.dot angle or browsing domain.pay's curated catalog from scratch. A clean search often surfaces options the first pass missed. Start fresh at https://domain.pay/domains.
Can a reserved .PAY name become available later for fraud prevention?
The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.
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.
