Frequently asked questions about thereg.dot
Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring for a regional bank?
No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
When does the standard pre-order fee for thereg.dot apply?
The standard pre-order fee, listed at $100 through domain.pay, applies when you queue a first-day attempt for thereg.dot. If that attempt fails, the fee is refundable per policy. Review when fees apply at https://domain.pay/pricing.
For fraud prevention, 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.
Do I need to act during a specific phase for thereg.dot?
Yes. To use trademark priority you must act during sunrise for thereg.dot; otherwise you act at general availability. Missing your phase means waiting or losing thereg.dot. domain.pay submits within the correct phase at https://domain.pay/register.
What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for a donation platform?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
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.
