Frequently asked questions about gongshow.dot

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for online checkout?

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 compliance obligations come with gongshow.dot?

Holding gongshow.dot primarily means keeping accurate registrant data and using the name consistent with the .PAY registry's payment-related expectations. Separately, operating regulated payments may carry its own legal obligations under your jurisdiction. domain.pay outlines current registry expectations at https://domain.pay/register.

As a regional bank, how does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work?

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.

Will I be told which phase gongshow.dot is in?

Yes. When you engage domain.pay for gongshow.dot, you are guided to the correct phase, sunrise or general availability, based on whether you hold a trademark, and your gongshow.dot request is queued for it. Find out at https://domain.pay/register.

For loan repayments, what date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
