Frequently asked questions about arka.dot

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for online checkout?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Does registering arka.dot guarantee I get it?

A first-day pre-order improves your timing but does not guarantee arka.dot, because trademark priority and demand can intervene. If the attempt fails, domain.pay refunds it per policy, so you are not out of pocket. See the terms on /pricing.

As a brand-protection manager, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

What does a first-day pre-order for arka.dot actually do?

A first-day pre-order queues your request so domain.pay attempts to register arka.dot the instant general availability opens. It improves your timing versus registering manually after launch. The standard pre-order is $100, refundable if the attempt fails, per /pricing.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for mobile money?

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.

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.
