Frequently asked questions about hoky.dot

Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names for a bank or credit union?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

How do I migrate an existing site onto hoky.dot without downtime?

Stand up the new site on hoky.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on hoky.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor hoky.dot for crawl errors afterward.

How do I register loans.pay if it matches my trademark?

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.

Is my hoky.dot priority claim public during the phase?

Trademark-priority claims on hoky.dot are processed under the registry's rules, and the final registration of hoky.dot appears in WHOIS once completed. The SMD itself stays your private credential during the phase. NicNames uses it only to verify your priority on hoky.dot. Register at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY meant for digital wallets or just for general websites?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as digital wallets, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
