Frequently asked questions about sshd.dot
Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for BNPL checkout?
Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.
How can I make sshd.dot the single source of truth for payments?
Once NicNames owns sshd.dot, publish it consistently as the only official payment address and direct customers there from verified channels. A single trusted sshd.dot name makes impersonators easier to spot. Begin by securing sshd.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY when choosing wallet.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.
Why might NicNames ask me to re-export my SMD for sshd.dot?
NicNames may ask you to re-export your SMD for sshd.dot if the submitted file is expired, malformed, or no longer matches your active TMCH record. A fresh export from the Clearinghouse resolves these issues for sshd.dot. Re-download the current .smd and retry at https://domain.pay/register.
For loan repayments, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
