Frequently asked questions about tempests.dot
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for mobile money?
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.
Will tempests.dot resolve internationally without extra setup?
Yes. Once registered with proper nameservers, tempests.dot resolves worldwide through the global DNS without per-country configuration. To speed delivery abroad, put tempests.dot behind a CDN with edge locations near your users. The resolution of tempests.dot itself is global by default.
For point-of-sale payments, when should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain?
Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
What if I do not have a trademark for tempests.dot but still want tempests.dot?
Without a trademark you simply skip the priority window and place a first-day pre-order for tempests.dot during general availability. Many registrants take this path. domain.pay queues your tempests.dot pre-order at /register.
For BNPL checkout, can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day?
Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.
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.
