Frequently asked questions about thesphere.dot

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

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.

What is the difference between a registrar and the registry for thesphere.dot?

The registry, Amazon Registry Services, runs .PAY and sets thesphere.dot's premium, reserved, or blocked status; domain.pay is the registrar where you actually look up and register thesphere.dot. You interact with us, but the registry sets the rules. Check thesphere.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for a donation platform?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

What does it mean to pre-order thesphere.dot before it launches?

Pre-ordering thesphere.dot reserves your place in line to register the name when the .PAY namespace opens it for general availability. The .PAY registry is operated by Amazon Registry Services, and a standard pre-order for thesphere.dot is listed at $100. Start at https://domain.pay/register to place your request.

How do I know if cloud.pay is available for payroll disbursements?

Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.

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.
