Frequently asked questions about hiho.dot

How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help for online checkout?

domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.

Why isn't hiho.dot resolving even though I added the records?

If hiho.dot won't resolve, first confirm the nameservers at your registrar match where the zone is actually hosted, then check for typos in the A or CNAME values. Cached TTLs or a missing apex record are common culprits. Verify with a DNS query tool, and review your settings under /domains.

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for online checkout?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

How does ICANN's process shape the launch of hiho.dot?

ICANN's new-gTLD framework requires phased launches, which is why hiho.dot moves through sunrise then general availability. This standardized process protects trademarks first and opens names like hiho.dot to the public after. domain.pay positions you for it at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

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.
