Frequently asked questions about the9.dot

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for crypto payments?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

Does the9.dot require a separate account to upload my SMD?

You complete the SMD upload for the9.dot within the NicNames registration flow, which guides you through providing the file and your details. The trademark-priority step for the9.dot happens in that same flow rather than a separate portal. Begin and upload your SMD at https://domain.pay/register.

Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for fraud prevention?

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.

Is a plural or singular form of the9.dot available?

It depends, but domain.pay's search lets you test plural and singular forms of the9.dot to see which is available alongside the9.dot. Trying both forms is a quick way to find an open variant. Test forms at https://domain.pay/domains.

Would travel.pay work as a payment brand for point-of-sale payments?

travel.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

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.
