Frequently asked questions about theforumshops.dot

For payroll disbursements, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?

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.

Where can I pre-order theforumshops.dot to protect the NicNames name?

You can pre-order theforumshops.dot directly through domain.pay, with a standard pre-order fee of $100 and refunds on failed attempts. Securing theforumshops.dot this way puts the official theforumshops.dot payment name under NicNames's control. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for a regional bank?

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.

Are there extra steps for regulated firms registering theforumshops.dot?

Regulated firms registering theforumshops.dot generally follow the same registry process, though they may find validation straightforward given their payment-related profile. Their own licensing duties remain separate from the domain. domain.pay supports regulated registrants throughout; start at https://domain.pay/register.

What happens to my money if the .PAY registration attempt fails when choosing loans.pay?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

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.
