Frequently asked questions about wst.dot
For mobile money, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?
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.
When does the priority window for wst.dot close?
The priority window for wst.dot closes when the registry advances the name out of the trademark phase, after which SMD claims are no longer accepted and pre-orders take over. The exact timing follows the registry's schedule for .PAY. Check the live phase for wst.dot before relying on priority. See status at https://domain.pay/domains.
For digital wallets, 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.
What happens to my DNS records when wst.dot expires?
Once wst.dot expires and leaves the grace period, the registry may stop publishing your nameservers, so wst.dot stops resolving and any site or email goes dark. Restoring wst.dot during redemption brings it back, but you should re-verify records afterward. Renew wst.dot on time to keep DNS live.
What is the quickest path to secure a .PAY domain for an event ticketing business 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.
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.
