Frequently asked questions about websites.dot
For payroll disbursements, would trust.pay work as a payment brand?
trust.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
Should a payment brand prefer websites.dot or a coined word?
A payment brand may prefer websites.dot for instant clarity around websites.dot, or a coined word for distinctiveness and easier trademarking. domain.pay shows both descriptive and invented options so you can decide. Explore both at https://domain.pay/domains.
Can a donation platform use .PAY for a branded payment page for loan repayments?
Yes. A donation platform can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
Who can claim websites.dot during the trademark sunrise phase?
During sunrise, only holders of validated trademarks with a TMCH-issued SMD matching the name can register websites.dot ahead of the general public. If websites.dot matches your mark, prepare your SMD to claim it. Otherwise you'll pre-order websites.dot in the standard phase via https://domain.pay/register.
Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for a remittance app?
.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.
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.
