Frequently asked questions about hio.dot

How do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark for loan repayments?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

Can I register hio.dot and a matching .com together?

Yes, many brands hold both hio.dot and the matching .com, using one as the primary site and 301-redirecting the other to it. This protects the brand and captures direct-type traffic on both. You can secure hio.dot now at https://domain.pay/register.

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay when choosing trust.pay?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

What happens to my hio.dot pre-order after I place it?

After you place a pre-order for hio.dot, domain.pay holds it staged and submits it to the registry when its phase opens; if the attempt fails, it is refundable per policy. You only pay for a successful hio.dot registration. See terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 when choosing donate.pay?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

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.
