Frequently asked questions about hlt.dot

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for an insurance billing portal?

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.

How long does TMCH validation take before I can register hlt.dot?

TMCH validation timing depends on the Clearinghouse, not on NicNames, so begin the process well before you intend to claim hlt.dot. Only after validation completes do you receive the SMD file needed for priority on hlt.dot. Plan ahead so your SMD is ready when the priority phase opens. Prepare your registration at https://domain.pay/register.

What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain for a brand-protection manager?

.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.

What does the standard pre-order get me for hlt.dot?

The standard $100 pre-order places your request for hlt.dot in line through domain.pay, and if the attempt fails it is refundable. It is the path to claim hlt.dot as a .PAY name when it becomes available. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

For fraud prevention, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: 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.
