Frequently asked questions about 18m.dot

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal for fraud prevention?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

Can I pre-order 18m.dot directly on domain.pay?

Yes. domain.pay lets you pre-order 18m.dot directly at the standard $100 pre-order price, and a failed attempt is refundable. If 18m.dot is unavailable, the site suggests related 18m.dot names to pre-order instead. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

Does NicNames accept SMD files from any TMCH-accredited provider for 18m.dot?

NicNames accepts the standard SMD file issued through the Trademark Clearinghouse, regardless of which accredited agent helped you record the mark, for claiming 18m.dot. What matters is a valid, matching SMD for the 18m.dot string. The issuing path does not change acceptance for 18m.dot. Upload yours at https://domain.pay/register.

When should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain for mobile money?

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.
