Frequently asked questions about smaug.dot

Where can I generate .PAY ideas for digital wallets for digital wallets?

For digital wallets, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

Can I run smaug.dot entirely on a static host like GitHub Pages?

Yes. Point smaug.dot at the static host using their required A/CNAME records, add smaug.dot as the custom domain in the host's settings, and enable their automatic HTTPS. Static hosting is fast and cheap for smaug.dot when you don't need server-side code.

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for mobile money?

A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For mobile money, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.

Why might a related name be available when smaug.dot isn't?

A related name can be available when smaug.dot isn't because synonyms, prefixes, and alternate forms of smaug.dot were never claimed. domain.pay surfaces these untaken variants automatically. Find available variants at https://domain.pay/domains.

For crypto payments, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

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.
