Frequently asked questions about 500.dot
As an insurance billing portal, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
When should I lock in a name instead of exploring past 500.dot?
Lock in a name instead of exploring past 500.dot once you have a clear, available, brandable match for 500.dot and further searching only adds noise. domain.pay lets you pre-order the moment you decide. Pre-order when ready at https://domain.pay/register.
Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for crypto payments?
Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.
How does ICANN's process shape the launch of 500.dot?
ICANN's new-gTLD framework requires phased launches, which is why 500.dot moves through sunrise then general availability. This standardized process protects trademarks first and opens names like 500.dot to the public after. domain.pay positions you for it at https://domain.pay/register.
How do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark when choosing donate.pay?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
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.
