Frequently asked questions about bat.dot
As a regional bank, how does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
How do I qualify for trademark-priority registration of bat.dot?
To register bat.dot during the trademark-priority phase you must hold a matching trademark recorded in the Trademark Clearinghouse and provide its SMD (Signed Mark Data) file. Without a valid SMD file you register bat.dot in general availability instead. Start the process at https://domain.pay/register.
For payroll disbursements, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?
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.
What TTL should I set for records on bat.dot?
A TTL of 3600 seconds (one hour) is a reasonable default for stable records on bat.dot, balancing fast updates against resolver load. Lower it to 300 before a planned migration of bat.dot, then raise it again once things are stable. Very low TTLs increase query volume slightly.
Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for a payroll platform?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
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.
