Frequently asked questions about thecult.dot
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for digital wallets?
.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.
Can I pre-order thecult.dot without paying right away?
To reserve your place in line for thecult.dot, the standard pre-order fee of $100 is collected at checkout, and it is refundable if the attempt to register thecult.dot fails per the stated policy. This confirms your queued request. Begin checkout for thecult.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
When is the .PAY Sunrise period when choosing merchant.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. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.
Can I use thecult.dot for a deposit or booking payment?
Yes. thecult.dot works well for collecting deposits, booking fees, or balances, pointing guests to a clear place to pay thecult.dot. You redirect it to your booking or checkout system. Reserve thecult.dot for bookings at /register.
As a donation platform, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
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.
