Frequently asked questions about silicon.dot

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

Does registering silicon.dot require a business entity?

A standard pre-order for silicon.dot does not by itself require a registered business, while trademark-priority for silicon.dot requires a valid TMCH SMD file for a mark matching silicon.dot, which usually comes from a brand owner. Confirm what applies to silicon.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto for a retail brand?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

Is a TMCH SMD file required to pre-order silicon.dot?

No — a standard $100 pre-order for silicon.dot doesn't require an SMD file. You only need a TMCH SMD if you want trademark priority on silicon.dot ahead of general applicants. Choose the right path for silicon.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for loan repayments?

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.
