Frequently asked questions about php.dot
For mobile money, what date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
Why might NicNames ask me to re-export my SMD for php.dot?
NicNames may ask you to re-export your SMD for php.dot if the submitted file is expired, malformed, or no longer matches your active TMCH record. A fresh export from the Clearinghouse resolves these issues for php.dot. Re-download the current .smd and retry at https://domain.pay/register.
How do I register a .PAY domain right now for point-of-sale payments?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
Can php.dot be the hub for a referral reward payout?
Yes. When referrers claim rewards, php.dot gives them a payment-native address that feels secure. Centralizing payouts on one .PAY name reduces confusion about where rewards land. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.
As a donation platform, can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission?
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.
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.
