Frequently asked questions about nekton.dot

How does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work for fraud prevention?

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.

How do I upload my SMD file when registering nekton.dot?

During the trademark-priority flow for nekton.dot, you upload your TMCH SMD file at the prompt so the registry can verify you own a mark matching nekton.dot. The system validates it before submitting your nekton.dot request. Begin the priority upload for nekton.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for online checkout?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

How do I avoid trademark issues when replacing nekton.dot?

To avoid trademark issues when replacing nekton.dot, pick a nekton.dot variant that doesn't clash with an existing mark, since holders may claim TMCH SMD priority under Amazon Registry Services. Check before you pre-order. Learn more at https://domain.pay/register.

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for crypto payments?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

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.
