.PAY domain
Checking availability…
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
The Trademark Clearinghouse accepts marks from many jurisdictions worldwide, so a qualifying foreign trademark can be recorded and produce an SMD for claiming ixor.pay. The mark must be validated by the TMCH and match the ixor string. NicNames then honours that SMD for priority on ixor.pay. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
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.
Owning ixor.pay shows investors and partners that NicNames actively controls its payment-facing identity and takes impersonation risk seriously. A clearly held ixor name on a payment-purpose TLD signals operational maturity. Secure it at https://domain.pay/register.
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: 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.
