Frequently asked questions about aikido.dot

During the .PAY launch, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

When is it worth choosing a different name than aikido.dot?

It can be worth choosing a different name than aikido.dot when the exact match is taken, conflicts with a trademark, or a shorter or clearer variant of aikido.dot reads better. domain.pay lets you weigh several candidates side by side before committing. Compare options at https://domain.pay/domains.

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name for payroll disbursements?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

Is it worth protecting aikido.dot if my brand is mostly local?

Yes. Local brands still take payments, and a fraudster impersonating your aikido.dot name can defraud your nearby customers just as easily. Because the cost is a $100 refundable pre-order, even a regional NicNames benefits from owning aikido.dot. https://domain.pay/register

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for online checkout?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.
