Frequently asked questions about darklands.dot

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for online checkout for a travel booking brand?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

What is an SMD file and do I need one for darklands.dot?

A Signed Mark Data (SMD) file is the cryptographic proof issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse that you own a registered mark, and it lets you claim darklands.dot during sunrise. You only need it if darklands.dot corresponds to your trademark and you want priority. Otherwise a standard pre-order for darklands.dot is enough.

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for mobile money?

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.

Should I use darklands.dot for a microsite or my main site?

Both work. A short, brandable name like darklands.dot can anchor your main site, or serve a focused campaign microsite that 301s to your hub later. The choice is strategic, not technical — search engines index darklands.dot the same either way. Decide based on your brand plan.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for crypto payments?

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.

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.
