Frequently asked questions about banner.dot
Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order?
domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.
Does banner.dot require a separate account to upload my SMD?
You complete the SMD upload for banner.dot within the NicNames registration flow, which guides you through providing the file and your details. The trademark-priority step for banner.dot happens in that same flow rather than a separate portal. Begin and upload your SMD at https://domain.pay/register.
When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for mobile money?
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.
Which path is faster for getting banner.dot: pre-order or priority?
For banner.dot, trademark-priority registration via a TMCH SMD file can secure the name earliest if you hold a matching registered mark, while a first-day pre-order is the route otherwise. Pre-orders are refundable if the attempt fails. domain.pay supports both; compare at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a brand-protection manager use .PAY for a branded payment page for a brand-protection manager?
Yes. A brand-protection manager can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
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.
