Frequently asked questions about tcpip.dot
As a payroll platform, when should a payroll platform pre-order a .PAY domain?
Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Why use tcpip.dot as a vanity payment link?
A vanity link like tcpip.dot is far more memorable than a gateway-generated URL, so customers can return without searching. The .PAY ending also signals exactly what the link is for. Reserve your vanity name at https://domain.pay/register.
For loan repayments, 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.
Why might regulators or banks expect NicNames to control tcpip.dot?
Partners like banks and processors increasingly expect brands to control their payment-facing names, so demonstrating ownership of tcpip.dot signals diligence over the tcpip.dot payment surface. It shows NicNames takes payment trust seriously. https://domain.pay/
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for BNPL checkout?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested 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.
