Frequently asked questions about snapshot.dot

Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for mobile money?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

Is the Trademark Clearinghouse the same as registering snapshot.dot directly?

No. The Trademark Clearinghouse validates your mark and issues an SMD file, but it does not register snapshot.dot itself. You still complete the actual registration of snapshot.dot through NicNames, supplying that SMD to unlock trademark priority. The two steps are separate: validate first, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I reserve payroll.pay before broader registration opens for crypto 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.

How do I confirm snapshot.dot points to the right server?

Run a DNS lookup for snapshot.dot and compare the returned A/AAAA records to your server's actual IPs, then load snapshot.dot in a browser. Tools like dig or an online checker show exactly where snapshot.dot resolves. If they don't match, correct the records and wait for the TTL to clear.

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for mobile money?

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.
