Frequently asked questions about knockdown.dot
How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help for crypto payments?
domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.
Why does trademark-priority registration of knockdown.dot require a TMCH record first?
The .PAY registry, operated by Amazon Registry Services, only grants priority to marks already validated in the Trademark Clearinghouse. Your TMCH record produces the SMD file that proves rights to the knockdown.dot string in knockdown.dot. Without that prior validation, NicNames has no recognised proof to grant you priority. Begin the flow at https://domain.pay/register.
What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for crypto payments?
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.
Is VIP priority worth it for a premium knockdown.dot?
For a premium knockdown.dot, VIP priority handling can be sensible if contention is expected, because it speeds your already-funded request at the drop. It does not reduce the registry premium fee for knockdown.dot or guarantee allocation. Compare for knockdown.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
How does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work when choosing payroll.pay?
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.
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.
