domain.pay

Domain.pay is a platform for pre-ordering .PAY domain names, allowing users to reserve a first-day registration attempt when broader registration opens, projected around February–March 2027. It offers a refund policy with 100% credit or 80% cash refund if registration is unsuccessful, but pre-orders do not guarantee domain registration.
