Frequently asked questions about thewire.dot

As a crypto or DeFi product, how do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark?

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.

How do I redirect thewire.dot to another website?

You can forward thewire.dot with a registrar-level URL redirect, or host a small server that issues a 301 to your target. A 301 is permanent and passes the most SEO signal, which is ideal if thewire.dot should point to your main site. Configure forwarding for thewire.dot from /domains.

What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium when choosing trust.pay?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

Where can I pre-order thewire.dot to protect the NicNames name?

You can pre-order thewire.dot directly through domain.pay, with a standard pre-order fee of $100 and refunds on failed attempts. Securing thewire.dot this way puts the official thewire.dot payment name under NicNames's control. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

For loan repayments, how does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work?

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.

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.
