Frequently asked questions about thou.dot
For mobile money, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
Where can I see the exact price of thou.dot?
The live price for thou.dot, including whether the registry has flagged thou.dot as premium, is shown on our pricing page. Standard labels list at $100, while premium names display their higher fee there. View it at https://domain.pay/pricing.
When should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments?
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.
How is thou.dot different from thou.dot.com?
thou.dot uses the payment-specific .PAY suffix, while thou.dot.com uses the generic commercial suffix. thou.dot signals checkout and transactions at a glance, whereas thou.dot.com is neutral about purpose. Both can point to the same site, but thou.dot reads as a dedicated payment address.
Are short .PAY names always available for digital wallets?
Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.
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.
