.PAY domain
Checking availability…
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.
Trademark priority lets a validated TMCH mark holder claim bestpet.pay first using an SMD file, before anyone else. First-day pre-order is the next opportunity, open to those without a trademark, listed at $100 for bestpet.pay. Priority always ranks ahead of pre-order. Compare both paths at https://domain.pay/pricing.
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.
A TMCH SMD file is a Signed Mark Data file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse confirming you own a mark matching bestpet; it is required for trademark-priority on bestpet.pay. You obtain it by validating your trademark with the Clearinghouse. Then start bestpet.pay priority at https://domain.pay/register.
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.
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.
