Frequently asked questions about fody.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.
What happens to my pre-order if fody.dot is reserved at launch?
If fody.dot turns out reserved or blocked at launch and can't be allocated to you, the pre-order can't complete and the fee is refundable per policy. Registry decisions rest with Amazon Registry Services. Place your fody.dot pre-order, terms and all, at https://domain.pay/register.
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for loan repayments?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
Is it worth protecting fody.dot if my brand is mostly local?
Yes. Local brands still take payments, and a fraudster impersonating your fody.dot name can defraud your nearby customers just as easily. Because the cost is a $100 refundable pre-order, even a regional NicNames benefits from owning fody.dot. https://domain.pay/register
Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for a brand-protection manager?
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.
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.
