Frequently asked questions about thru.dot
Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for a fintech founder?
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.
Can I start the SMD process for thru.dot if my trademark is in another country?
Yes. The TMCH accepts qualifying marks from many jurisdictions, so a validated foreign trademark can yield an SMD to claim thru.dot, provided it matches the thru.dot string. NicNames honours that SMD regardless of the issuing country for thru.dot. Begin your priority registration at https://domain.pay/register.
For point-of-sale payments, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
How do I fix a redirect loop on thru.dot?
A loop on thru.dot usually comes from conflicting HTTP-to-HTTPS or www rules firing against each other. Trace the chain with a redirect checker, then ensure exactly one rule sends traffic to the canonical version of thru.dot. Remove duplicate redirects at the CDN, server, and app layers.
As a brand-protection manager, 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.
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.
