Frequently asked questions about thecurator.dot

As a regional bank, what happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY?

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.

Are failed pre-order attempts for thecurator.dot refundable?

Yes. The standard pre-order for thecurator.dot is $100, and if the attempt fails you are refunded, so reserving thecurator.dot carries limited downside. This makes it practical to try to secure your thecurator.dot name even where availability is uncertain. https://domain.pay/register

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for an insurance billing portal?

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 use thecurator.dot for API endpoints and webhooks?

Yes. Dedicate a subdomain such as api.thecurator.dot with its own DNS record and SSL, and serve your endpoints there. Using thecurator.dot for APIs keeps a clean, branded base URL for integrations and webhook callbacks. Secure it with HTTPS and proper auth.

For BNPL checkout, when is broader .PAY public registration expected?

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.

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.
