Frequently asked questions about zonda.dot
Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now when choosing tap.pay?
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.
Why is the .PAY suffix in zonda.dot considered payment-focused?
The .PAY suffix was created specifically for payment, billing, and financial use cases, which is why zonda.dot signals money movement so clearly. Amazon Registry Services positions .PAY as a trusted namespace for transactions. That focus is built into the suffix, not just implied.
When should a payroll platform pre-order a .PAY domain for loan repayments?
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.
What TTL should I set for records on zonda.dot?
A TTL of 3600 seconds (one hour) is a reasonable default for stable records on zonda.dot, balancing fast updates against resolver load. Lower it to 300 before a planned migration of zonda.dot, then raise it again once things are stable. Very low TTLs increase query volume slightly.
For fraud prevention, 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.
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.
