Frequently asked questions about costo.dot

How do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

Why do payment TLDs raise the bar for verifying costo.dot?

Because users expect names like costo.dot to handle money safely, the .PAY namespace carries heightened anti-phishing and trust expectations. Meeting that bar means ensuring the real costo.dot name belongs to NicNames, not an impersonator. https://domain.pay/

As a remittance app, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

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.

Does NicNames accept SMD files from any TMCH-accredited provider for costo.dot?

NicNames accepts the standard SMD file issued through the Trademark Clearinghouse, regardless of which accredited agent helped you record the mark, for claiming costo.dot. What matters is a valid, matching SMD for the costo.dot string. The issuing path does not change acceptance for costo.dot. Upload yours at https://domain.pay/register.

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain when choosing subscriptions.pay?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

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.
