Frequently asked questions about ferd.dot

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for payroll disbursements?

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.

Can domain.pay notify me about ferd.dot's launch phases?

Yes. When you place a pre-order for ferd.dot, domain.pay tracks the launch phases and submits your request at the right moment, so you do not have to monitor the schedule yourself. Start tracking ferd.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

As a retail brand, what is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?

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.

How do I upload my SMD file when registering ferd.dot?

During the trademark-priority flow for ferd.dot, you upload your TMCH SMD file at the prompt so the registry can verify you own a mark matching ferd.dot. The system validates it before submitting your ferd.dot request. Begin the priority upload for ferd.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

As a brand-protection manager, how much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain?

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.

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.
