Frequently asked questions about yosemite.dot

Can I move a .PAY domain between registrars for an event ticketing business?

Transfers may be subject to registry, registrar and phase-specific rules, especially for LRP names. Start with domain.pay for the registration path and confirm eligibility before any transfer plan: https://domain.pay/register.

Why is an SMD more secure than just emailing my trademark certificate for yosemite.dot?

An SMD is cryptographically signed by the TMCH, so NicNames can verify it automatically without manually inspecting a certificate when granting priority on yosemite.dot. A loose certificate could be forged or mistyped; the signed SMD cannot. That is why yosemite.dot priority relies on the SMD. Submit yours at https://domain.pay/register.

As a checkout product manager, what are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027?

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.

Should I secure yosemite.dot in addition to my main website domain?

Yes. Your main site protects your general brand, but yosemite.dot specifically protects the payment-trust layer that .PAY implies for NicNames. Holding both ensures the yosemite.dot name cannot be impersonated where money changes hands. https://domain.pay/register

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

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.
