Frequently asked questions about ethos.dot

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain for a donation platform?

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.

How do I make sure my SMD matches the exact label in ethos.dot?

Open your TMCH record to see the validated mark text, then compare it against the ethos.dot string in ethos.dot character by character before submitting. NicNames only grants priority when the SMD-encoded mark matches that label for ethos.dot. A mismatch routes you to standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For loan repayments, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

Which costs more upfront for ethos.dot: standard or VIP?

VIP costs more upfront for ethos.dot because it adds a one-time priority handling fee on top of the registration rate, whether that rate is the $100 standard or a premium ethos.dot fee. Standard checkout omits the VIP line. Compare both for ethos.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

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.

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.
