.PAY domain
Checking availability…
A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.
A generic domain says nothing about what happens there, but macht.pay states payment in the suffix itself. Visitors reading macht.pay expect to pay macht, which sets the right context immediately. That built-in meaning is the core advantage of .PAY.
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.
The launch protects trademarks first because ICANN's framework reserves the sunrise phase for brand owners, letting them claim macht.pay before the public to prevent infringement. General availability follows for everyone else. Position for macht.pay at https://domain.pay/register.
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.
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.
