Frequently asked questions about generics.dot
How does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work for crypto payments?
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.
Can an agency submit the SMD on behalf of my brand for generics.dot?
An agency can run the NicNames registration flow for generics.dot if it has authority and access to your valid SMD for the generics.dot mark. The priority claim still rests on that SMD representing your validated rights. Make sure the agency uses the correct file for generics.dot. Begin the process at https://domain.pay/register.
Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for crypto payments?
Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.
How do I avoid duplicate content between generics.dot and my .com?
Serve real content on only one of them and 301-redirect the other, or use cross-domain canonical tags pointing to the version you want indexed. Without this, generics.dot and the .com can split ranking signals. Pick the canonical host for generics.dot and enforce it site-wide.
Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline when choosing donate.pay?
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.
