Frequently asked questions about zones.dot
During the .PAY launch, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?
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.
How do I confirm zones.dot qualifies for the $100 rate before paying?
Before paying, enter zones.dot on our pricing page; if the registry has not flagged zones.dot as premium, the page shows the $100 standard rate, otherwise it shows the premium fee. This lets you confirm zones.dot pricing in advance. Verify it at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Can a donation platform use .PAY for a branded payment page for fraud prevention?
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/.
Should nonprofits and charities protect zones.dot too?
Yes. Donors are frequent phishing targets, and a fake zones.dot payment page can intercept contributions while damaging trust in your cause. A $100 refundable pre-order makes securing zones.dot feasible for mission-driven organizations. https://domain.pay/register
As a brand-protection manager, when does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run?
ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
