Frequently asked questions about hived.dot

For fraud prevention, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

What evidence does the TMCH need before issuing the SMD I use for hived.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse requires proof of a registered, valid trademark and may request a sample of use before issuing the SMD you use for hived.dot. Only after that validation is the SMD available. NicNames then accepts that file for priority on hived.dot. Prepare your evidence, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark?

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.

Why is hived.dot a cleaner option than a long subdomain?

A subdomain like pay.hived.dot.com adds a layer and still depends on your .com, while hived.dot is a standalone, purpose-built address. hived.dot reads as a payment destination without nesting. That makes it simpler to share and brand.

When should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain for online checkout?

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.

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.
