Frequently asked questions about xdc.dot

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for mobile money?

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.

Does pre-ordering xdc.dot guarantee I get it?

A pre-order stages your xdc.dot request to be submitted the instant its phase opens, which maximizes your chance, but no registrar can guarantee a contested name. If the attempt fails, it is refundable per policy. Read the terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for mobile money?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

What information do I need to pre-order xdc.dot?

To pre-order xdc.dot you provide the registrant details and payment; the standard pre-order is $100 and is refundable per policy if xdc.dot can't be secured. For a trademark-priority claim on xdc.dot, you'll also supply a TMCH SMD file. Begin the xdc.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for online checkout?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
