Frequently asked questions about hbox.dot

For online checkout, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?

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.

Will operating hbox.dot make me a regulated entity?

Simply holding hbox.dot does not make you a regulated financial entity; regulation typically depends on the actual payment activities you conduct and your jurisdiction's law. The .PAY registry validates use but does not license you. domain.pay can clarify expectations at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup when choosing payroll.pay?

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.

Does hbox.dot need a CAA record for SSL?

A CAA record on hbox.dot restricts which certificate authorities may issue certs for it, adding a layer of security. It's optional but recommended; list the CA you use (e.g. letsencrypt.org) for hbox.dot. Add the CAA record in DNS before requesting new certificates.

Can I reserve payroll.pay before broader registration opens when choosing payroll.pay?

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.
