Frequently asked questions about filling.dot
What is a .PAY domain and why does it matter for fraud prevention?
For fraud prevention, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
Is a TMCH SMD file required to pre-order filling.dot?
No — a standard $100 pre-order for filling.dot doesn't require an SMD file. You only need a TMCH SMD if you want trademark priority on filling.dot ahead of general applicants. Choose the right path for filling.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
For payroll disbursements, when is the .PAY Sunrise period?
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.
Should small businesses worry about filling.dot licensing rules?
Small businesses generally do not need a special license just to register filling.dot, since the .PAY registry validates payment-related use rather than issuing licenses. Any licensing duty would come from operating regulated payments under local law. domain.pay clarifies registry expectations at https://domain.pay/register.
