Frequently asked questions about hokie.dot

For payroll disbursements, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

Should I wait for general availability to buy hokie.dot?

Waiting until general availability opens means competing in real time with everyone else for hokie.dot. Instead, place a first-day pre-order now so domain.pay submits your request the instant the phase opens. That removes the scramble. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain for BNPL checkout?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Will my SMD file expire before I can register hokie.dot?

An SMD file is tied to your active TMCH record and stops being valid if your trademark record lapses or is revoked. To claim hokie.dot you need a current, unexpired SMD at the moment of submission. Keep your TMCH record renewed so your right to hokie.dot stays enforceable. Register while valid at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY already open to everyone for a remittance app?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: 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.
