Frequently asked questions about world.dot
When is the .PAY Sunrise period when choosing subscriptions.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.
Why does world.dot load on HTTP but not HTTPS?
If world.dot serves over HTTP but fails on HTTPS, the SSL certificate is likely missing, expired, or not bound to port 443 on your server. Install or renew a cert covering world.dot, ensure 443 is open, then redirect HTTP to HTTPS. Test world.dot again after reloading the web server.
For fraud prevention, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?
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.
What if world.dot is generic, is world.dot still worth it?
If world.dot is generic, world.dot can still work for instant clarity, but domain.pay can also surface a more distinctive variant to stand out. Weighing both helps you balance clarity and uniqueness. Compare options at https://domain.pay/domains.
Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for a brand-protection manager?
The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.
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.
