Frequently asked questions about hi-tech.dot

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover when choosing bank.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.

Should a campaign landing page live on hi-tech.dot?

For any campaign that ends in a purchase or donation, hi-tech.dot gives you a campaign URL that already implies the payment step. That clarity can reduce hesitation between the click and the conversion. You can secure the name at https://domain.pay/register.

When should a payroll platform pre-order a .PAY domain?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What is the difference between an A record and CNAME for hi-tech.dot?

An A record maps hi-tech.dot (or a subdomain) directly to an IP address, while a CNAME aliases a subdomain to another hostname. The apex of hi-tech.dot generally needs an A (or ALIAS) record, since classic CNAMEs aren't allowed at the root. Use CNAMEs for subdomains of hi-tech.dot.

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for payroll disbursements?

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.

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.
