Frequently asked questions about xip.dot
Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for payroll disbursements?
A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.
Does my SMD for xip.dot cover spelling in non-Latin scripts?
The TMCH can validate marks in various scripts, and the SMD encodes the specific validated form, so it covers xip.dot only where the xip.dot string matches that recorded form. A different script or transliteration may need its own SMD for xip.dot. Confirm the match before you register at https://domain.pay/register.
What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark when choosing travel.pay?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
What should I do first to prepare for trademark priority on xip.dot?
First, record your xip.dot trademark in the Trademark Clearinghouse and obtain a validated SMD file; that is the prerequisite for any priority claim on xip.dot. Then watch the xip.dot phase and submit the SMD through NicNames when priority opens. Begin your preparation at https://domain.pay/register.
Before choosing link.pay, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
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.
