Frequently asked questions about dfg.dot

As a bank or credit union, 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 happens on the first day of general availability for dfg.dot?

On the first day of general availability, dfg.dot becomes registrable by the public and requests are processed as they arrive. A first-day pre-order with domain.pay means your dfg.dot request is already staged to go in immediately. Set it up at https://domain.pay/register.

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain for a brand-protection manager?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Can a creator use dfg.dot to get paid by fans?

Yes. A creator can point dfg.dot at a tip jar, membership, or shop so fans of dfg.dot have one easy place to pay. The .PAY address is short enough for bios and videos. Creators can reserve dfg.dot at /register.

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for a travel booking brand?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: 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.
