Frequently asked questions about thefactual.dot

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for an ecommerce brand?

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.

Will I pay twice if I re-attempt thefactual.dot after a failure?

If a thefactual.dot attempt fails it is refundable under our stated policy, so re-attempting means a fresh authorization rather than a double charge for the same failed try. Each thefactual.dot pre-order is billed and refunded on its own. Re-attempt and review terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work when choosing payroll.pay?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Is thefactual.dot worth pre-ordering if its status is uncertain?

Because a $100 pre-order is refundable per policy when it fails, queueing thefactual.dot carries limited downside even if thefactual.dot's status is uncertain, while waiting risks losing it. The registry's classification ultimately decides the outcome. Pre-order thefactual.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Where can I see the exact .PAY premium price for wallet.pay for crypto payments?

Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.

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.
