Frequently asked questions about thecurrent.dot
Can I move a .PAY domain between registrars for an event ticketing business?
Transfers may be subject to registry, registrar and phase-specific rules, especially for LRP names. Start with domain.pay for the registration path and confirm eligibility before any transfer plan: https://domain.pay/register.
Do I need to act during a specific phase for thecurrent.dot?
Yes. To use trademark priority you must act during sunrise for thecurrent.dot; otherwise you act at general availability. Missing your phase means waiting or losing thecurrent.dot. domain.pay submits within the correct phase at https://domain.pay/register.
As a donation platform, when is the .PAY Sunrise period?
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.
Does domain.pay suggest alternatives when thecurrent.dot is unavailable?
Yes. When thecurrent.dot is unavailable, domain.pay automatically surfaces related .PAY names and catalog picks built around thecurrent.dot so you always have a path forward. The suggestions emphasize close, brandable variants. See alternatives at https://domain.pay/domains.
Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY?
If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.
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.
