Frequently asked questions about ecf.dot

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission when choosing bank.pay?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

Which DNS record type connects ecf.dot to a load balancer?

Cloud load balancers are usually referenced by hostname, so you point the apex of ecf.dot using an ALIAS/ANAME record (or a CNAME on a subdomain) at the balancer's DNS name. This lets the balancer's IPs change without breaking ecf.dot. Your provider documents the exact target.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark when choosing instant.pay?

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.

Why might the .PAY registry deny ecf.dot?

The .PAY registry may deny ecf.dot if registrant data is inaccurate, the intended use does not fit payment-related expectations, or the name is unavailable or contested. Accurate, good-faith details reduce this risk. domain.pay helps you present a clean application and pursues eligible names at https://domain.pay/register.

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for crypto payments?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

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.
