Frequently asked questions about midways.dot

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for crypto payments?

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.

What does first-day pre-order priority mean for midways.dot?

First-day pre-order priority means domain.pay attempts to register midways.dot the moment general availability begins, ahead of people who register manually later. It improves timing but is still subject to demand. The standard pre-order is $100; see /pricing.

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for a brand-protection manager?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Is there a deadline to pre-order midways.dot?

Pre-orders for midways.dot are accepted up until its phase opens, but the practical deadline is sooner the more contested the name is, since queue order can matter. Acting now avoids missing the window. Pre-order midways.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

As an event ticketing business, why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

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.
