Frequently asked questions about defcon.dot
Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names when choosing tap.pay?
Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.
How do I know if defcon.dot is a premium or reserved name?
Some .PAY names are designated premium or reserved by the registry, and the domain.pay flow flags this for defcon.dot when you search. If defcon.dot carries a special designation, the status and any different terms appear before checkout. Check the status of defcon.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
How do I register a .PAY domain right now when choosing crypto.pay?
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.
How does the SMD file prove my right to defcon.dot at registration?
The SMD file is issued by the TMCH after it verifies your rights in the defcon.dot mark, and presenting it during priority phases substantiates your claim to defcon.dot. It connects your trademark to the registration in a verifiable way. https://domain.pay/pricing
Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal for mobile money?
Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.
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.
