Frequently asked questions about halve.dot

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for a payroll platform?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

Are there name-collision rules that affect SMD claims on halve.dot?

The .PAY registry, run by Amazon Registry Services, applies its own policies that can affect how SMD claims and reservations interact for names like halve.dot. Your valid SMD makes you eligible for priority on halve.dot, while the registry resolves any conflicts. NicNames applies those rules for you. See context at https://domain.pay/.

When is broader .PAY public registration expected for loan repayments?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Is halve.dot a fit for a deposit-based rental?

Rental businesses can take security deposits on halve.dot, giving renters a trusted address to pay before pickup. The .PAY name makes the refundable deposit step feel official. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain when choosing donate.pay?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

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.
