Frequently asked questions about smartcount.dot

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for an insurance billing portal?

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.

Which file format does NicNames accept for trademark priority on smartcount.dot?

NicNames accepts the standard .smd (Signed Mark Data) file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse for trademark priority on smartcount.dot. The file is a signed, encoded representation of your validated smartcount.dot mark. Other documents cannot substitute for the SMD. Upload it during registration at https://domain.pay/register.

As a payroll platform, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

What MX priority values should I use for smartcount.dot?

Set the lowest number on your primary mail server's MX for smartcount.dot since lower priority is preferred, and use higher numbers for backups. Most providers give you the exact host and priority to enter for smartcount.dot. Mismatched priorities can misroute mail for smartcount.dot, so copy them precisely.
