.PAY domain
Checking availability…
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
A competitor holding smotra.pay could divert customers searching for your smotra payment name or sow confusion about who is official. Because .PAY implies payments, that confusion is especially harmful. Registering smotra.pay yourself removes the opening. https://domain.pay/register
After registration, plan DNS, SSL, redirects, security monitoring and payment-page controls as you would for a production domain. Start by securing the .PAY name through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. A domain alone does not make a checkout secure.
No — per our policy, if a pre-order for smotra.pay fails to secure the name, the fee is refundable, so a failed attempt shouldn't cost you. The standard pre-order is $100 when it succeeds. Review the terms as you queue smotra.pay 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.
