Frequently asked questions about xds.dot

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay when choosing settle.pay?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

Does domain.pay reserve xds.dot on its own?

No — reservations on xds.dot come from the registry, Amazon Registry Services, not from domain.pay. We display the registry's classification and let you pre-order or register xds.dot when it's open. Check the registry status of xds.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

During the .PAY launch, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?

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 is a Signed Mark Data file in the context of xds.dot?

Signed Mark Data (SMD) is the cryptographically signed file the TMCH issues to prove your validated trademark. For xds.dot, it is the credential NicNames checks to grant trademark priority on the xds.dot string. It encodes the mark, its dates, and a signature. Use it to claim xds.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For fraud prevention, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

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.
