Frequently asked questions about afirma.dot
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission when choosing bank.pay?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.
Will afirma.dot work for a community sports league?
A local league can collect registration and team fees on afirma.dot, giving families one trusted address to pay. The .PAY name on a signup flyer is easy to type and remember. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders when choosing loans.pay?
.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 afirma.dot require special hosting?
No. afirma.dot works with ordinary web hosting, redirects, or a landing-page service, just like any domain. You point its DNS wherever you want afirma.dot to resolve. The .PAY suffix imposes no special hosting requirement.
What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for point-of-sale payments?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: 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.
