Frequently asked questions about govi.dot

As an ecommerce brand, what does it mean if a .PAY name is premium?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

Why does govi.dot load on HTTP but not HTTPS?

If govi.dot serves over HTTP but fails on HTTPS, the SSL certificate is likely missing, expired, or not bound to port 443 on your server. Install or renew a cert covering govi.dot, ensure 443 is open, then redirect HTTP to HTTPS. Test govi.dot again after reloading the web server.

For loan repayments, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.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.

What currency is govi.dot priced in?

The listed $100 standard rate and any premium govi.dot fee for govi.dot are quoted in US dollars, with your local total and taxes shown at checkout. Conversion is handled by your payment provider. Confirm the displayed currency for govi.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

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

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.

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.
