Frequently asked questions about spotlight.dot

How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup 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.

When does the standard $100 rate apply to spotlight.dot?

The $100 standard rate applies to spotlight.dot whenever the registry has not classified spotlight.dot as a premium name. If spotlight.dot is premium, a higher registry fee applies instead. Confirm which rate covers spotlight.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark for a donation platform?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

How can I be sure spotlight.dot isn't a typo of a taken name?

The lookup checks the exact spotlight.dot you enter, so the status shown is specifically for spotlight.dot and not a near-match. If you mistype, just search again to see the right name's status. Verify spotlight.dot precisely at https://domain.pay/domains.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for BNPL checkout?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested 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.
