Frequently asked questions about theworks.dot

Should a remittance app protect its exact brand in .PAY for a remittance app?

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.

Is there a standard price to register theworks.dot if it's not premium?

If theworks.dot isn't premium, it registers at the standard .PAY fee shown at checkout rather than a special registry rate. Premium labels carry registry-set pricing instead. Compare what applies to theworks.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing, and re-check status since it can change.

Is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio for fraud prevention?

domain.pay says customers with pre-orders over $8,888 may qualify for VIP handling, dedicated support and more tailored failed-registration solutions. Review the current VIP language on the pricing page: https://domain.pay/pricing. Large portfolios should still expect availability and premium checks.

Does domain.pay support trademark-priority registration for theworks.dot?

Yes. If you own a trademark recorded in the TMCH with a valid SMD file, domain.pay can register theworks.dot for you during the sunrise phase, ahead of general availability. This is the safest route for brand owners. Read more at https://domain.pay/register.

For crypto payments, what is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?

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.

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.
