Frequently asked questions about american.dot
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission when choosing link.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.
Why is there no fixed premium price shown for american.dot?
Premium fees are assigned per label by Amazon Registry Services, so the exact premium price for american.dot comes from the registry rather than a fixed published figure on our side. Only the $100 standard rate is a stated constant. View the live premium tier for american.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for digital wallets?
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.
Is there a risk someone else registers american.dot before me?
Yes, .PAY names are first-come during general availability, so another party could secure american.dot if you wait. A first-day pre-order through domain.pay queues your attempt for the opening moment. Lock in your attempt for american.dot at /register.
