Frequently asked questions about hod.dot
How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help for loan repayments?
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 is acting fast important to secure hod.dot?
Names like hod.dot are registered on a first-eligible basis, so delay gives impersonators or speculators a chance to take your hod.dot name. Acting fast through priority phases or a $100 refundable pre-order keeps hod.dot under NicNames's control. https://domain.pay/register
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for a mobile wallet team?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
How do I set up HTTPS and an SSL certificate on hod.dot?
Point hod.dot at your server via DNS first, then issue a certificate from a CA such as Let's Encrypt or your hosting provider's automated tool. Most platforms validate ownership of hod.dot over HTTP or DNS and renew automatically. Once installed, force all traffic to HTTPS with a redirect.
Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now when choosing tap.pay?
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.
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.
