Frequently asked questions about ker.dot
How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
What are my options if ker.dot is premium and over budget?
If ker.dot's registry-set premium price is too high, you can wait in case Amazon Registry Services reprices it, or consider close alternatives to ker.dot. Premium pricing can change over time. Compare options and re-check ker.dot's quote at https://domain.pay/pricing.
What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for fraud prevention?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
Can I learn more about .PAY before I commit to ker.dot?
Yes. You can read about the .PAY namespace, operated by Amazon Registry Services, and explore available names before committing to ker.dot at https://domain.pay/. When you are ready to reserve ker.dot, start your pre-order or priority request at https://domain.pay/register.
What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for online checkout?
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.
