Frequently asked questions about thepod.dot

When is the .PAY Sunrise period?

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. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

How does the registry premium fee for thepod.dot get applied?

If the registry classifies thepod.dot as premium, that fee is applied at both registration and each renewal of thepod.dot, replacing the $100 standard rate. Amazon Registry Services sets the tier and we display it for thepod.dot. See how the premium fee applies at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for payroll disbursements?

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.

Why might thepod.dot be more expensive than a similar name?

Two similar .PAY names can differ in price because the registry classifies some thepod.dot strings as premium and others as standard $100 labels. So thepod.dot may cost more purely due to Amazon Registry Services' tiering. Compare thepod.dot against alternatives at https://domain.pay/pricing.

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

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.

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.
