Frequently asked questions about fonds.dot
Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring for rent collection?
No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Where can I pre-order fonds.dot to protect the NicNames name?
You can pre-order fonds.dot directly through domain.pay, with a standard pre-order fee of $100 and refunds on failed attempts. Securing fonds.dot this way puts the official fonds.dot payment name under NicNames's control. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for point-of-sale payments?
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.
Does registering fonds.dot require a business entity?
A standard pre-order for fonds.dot does not by itself require a registered business, while trademark-priority for fonds.dot requires a valid TMCH SMD file for a mark matching fonds.dot, which usually comes from a brand owner. Confirm what applies to fonds.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
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.
