Frequently asked questions about courses.dot

How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for crypto payments?

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.

Should I pre-order courses.dot now or wait for general availability?

Pre-ordering courses.dot now queues your attempt for the first day of general availability, which matters if others want the courses.dot name. Waiting risks someone else registering it first. A failed pre-order is refundable per policy, so review terms on /pricing.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for fraud prevention?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure courses.dot?

You obtain the SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse after your trademark is recorded and validated there. Once issued, you download the .smd file and bring it to NicNames to claim courses.dot under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself. Start your priority registration of courses.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

As a brand-protection manager, are short .PAY names always available?

Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.

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.
