Frequently asked questions about kess.dot

For point-of-sale payments, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?

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.

Is kess.dot eligible for VIP priority handling?

Most .PAY names, including kess.dot, are eligible for VIP priority handling, which advances your request in our submission queue at the drop. Whether kess.dot is standard $100 or premium does not affect VIP eligibility for kess.dot. Check eligibility at https://domain.pay/pricing.

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.

What is an SMD file and why does kess.dot need it for sunrise?

An SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is the cryptographic proof of a TMCH-validated trademark required to register kess.dot during sunrise. Without it, the registry rejects sunrise applications. domain.pay uses your SMD to submit kess.dot, as explained at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

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.
