As an ecommerce brand, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Does hobbygames.dot work for a deposit on custom orders?

Makers taking custom orders can request a deposit on hobbygames.dot, giving buyers a clear address to commit. The .PAY name reassures customers paying upfront for bespoke work. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.

Should an ecommerce brand protect its exact brand in .PAY for secure payment links?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

How soon should I renew hobbygames.dot before it expires?

Renew hobbygames.dot at least a couple of weeks before the expiry date, or simply enable auto-renew, to avoid any grace or redemption stage. Early renewal usually just extends the term of hobbygames.dot from the existing date. Confirm renewal pricing for hobbygames.dot at /pricing.

As an insurance billing portal, when does the .PAY LRP1 period begin?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
