Frequently asked questions about kingofthecage.dot

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for fraud prevention?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Does kingofthecage.dot require an active website?

kingofthecage.dot does not require a live website to register, though the .PAY registry's expectations focus on payment-related, good-faith use. You can secure kingofthecage.dot now and build later. domain.pay can register and park it for you; begin at https://domain.pay/register.

For digital wallets, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

How do I test that SSL is correctly installed on kingofthecage.dot?

Load kingofthecage.dot over HTTPS and inspect the padlock, then run it through an SSL checker to confirm the chain, expiry, and hostname match for kingofthecage.dot. The test flags missing intermediates or a name mismatch on kingofthecage.dot. Fix any reported issues and re-test before launch.

For payroll disbursements, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .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.
