Frequently asked questions about hct.dot

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for crypto payments?

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.

When does hct.dot expire and how do renewals work?

A registered hct.dot renews annually, and you keep it as long as you renew before the expiry date. We recommend enabling auto-renew so hct.dot never lapses by accident. You can review the renewal date and billing for hct.dot and see current terms at /pricing.

Is .PAY already open to everyone?

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.

Can I cancel my pre-order for hct.dot before it is processed?

You can manage your pre-order for hct.dot before the registry processes it, and if an attempt to register hct.dot ultimately fails, the fee is refundable per the stated policy. For cancellation steps specific to hct.dot, follow the order management options at https://domain.pay/register.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for a checkout product manager?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

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.
