Frequently asked questions about touchline.dot
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for a donation platform?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.
Can touchline.dot serve as a hosted donation portal for events?
Yes. Spin up an event giving page on touchline.dot so attendees pledge from their phones on a memorable address. A short .PAY name on the stage screen converts better than a cramped gateway link. Reserve it ahead of your event at https://domain.pay/register.
As a regional bank, what is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?
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.
How do I migrate an existing site onto touchline.dot without downtime?
Stand up the new site on touchline.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on touchline.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor touchline.dot for crawl errors afterward.
What should I check technically before launching a .PAY payment site for a retail brand?
Before launching a .PAY payment site, verify the label, DNS, SSL, redirects, monitoring, checkout security and compliance obligations. Secure or pre-order the domain through domain.pay first: https://domain.pay/register. Treat the domain as one part of a trusted payment flow.
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.
