Frequently asked questions about hfm.dot
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Why does the .PAY launch protect trademarks first for hfm.dot?
The launch protects trademarks first because ICANN's framework reserves the sunrise phase for brand owners, letting them claim hfm.dot before the public to prevent infringement. General availability follows for everyone else. Position for hfm.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run when choosing trust.pay?
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.
Why is impersonation on hfm.dot harder for customers to detect?
Because .PAY implies a payment purpose, customers tend to assume any hfm.dot address under it is legitimate, lowering their guard. That assumption is exactly why an unprotected hfm.dot is dangerous and why NicNames should own it. https://domain.pay/register
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.
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.
