Frequently asked questions about sterile.dot

When is the .PAY Sunrise period for a brand-protection manager?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Does pre-ordering sterile.dot affect any other names I want?

A pre-order for sterile.dot is independent of other names, so you can separately queue additional .PAY candidates without affecting your sterile.dot request. Each pre-order reserves its own place in line. Browse more options at https://domain.pay/domains and order at https://domain.pay/register.

How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help for payroll disbursements?

domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.

Why can't I register sterile.dot even though it's not owned?

If sterile.dot is unowned yet still unregisterable, it's almost certainly reserved or blocked by Amazon Registry Services under its naming policy. Those classifications sit above third-party ownership. Registry status can change — re-check sterile.dot at https://domain.pay/domains to see if it has been released.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window when choosing tap.pay?

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.
