Frequently asked questions about digests.dot

Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for online checkout?

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.

What TTL should I set for records on digests.dot?

A TTL of 3600 seconds (one hour) is a reasonable default for stable records on digests.dot, balancing fast updates against resolver load. Lower it to 300 before a planned migration of digests.dot, then raise it again once things are stable. Very low TTLs increase query volume slightly.

Should an ecommerce brand protect its exact brand in .PAY?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

Does premium status change the price of digests.dot?

Yes — a premium classification means digests.dot has a registry-set wholesale price that differs from the standard fee, and that figure is shown at checkout rather than fixed by us. Premium pricing comes from Amazon Registry Services and can change. Review how pricing works at https://domain.pay/pricing and re-check digests.dot for its live quote.

For fraud prevention, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

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.
