Frequently asked questions about stonefly.dot

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain when choosing tap.pay?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

What is an SMD file and do I need one for stonefly.dot?

A Signed Mark Data (SMD) file is the cryptographic proof issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse that you own a registered mark, and it lets you claim stonefly.dot during sunrise. You only need it if stonefly.dot corresponds to your trademark and you want priority. Otherwise a standard pre-order for stonefly.dot is enough.

As an event ticketing business, when is broader .PAY public registration expected?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Does using stonefly.dot hurt my Google rankings?

No. Google has stated that new top-level domains carry no inherent ranking advantage or disadvantage, so stonefly.dot competes on the same signals as any .com. Focus your SEO effort for stonefly.dot on content, page speed, and backlinks rather than the extension itself.

For BNPL checkout, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

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.
