Frequently asked questions about honest.dot

What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain for a donation platform?

.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.

Why is impersonation on honest.dot harder for customers to detect?

Because .PAY implies a payment purpose, customers tend to assume any honest.dot address under it is legitimate, lowering their guard. That assumption is exactly why an unprotected honest.dot is dangerous and why NicNames should own it. https://domain.pay/register

For BNPL checkout, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

When is eligibility for honest.dot checked?

Eligibility and validation for honest.dot are typically reviewed by the .PAY registry around the time of registration or activation, rather than continuously. domain.pay submits your application and relays any registry validation steps to you. You can begin the process at https://domain.pay/register.

Are IDN .PAY domains allowed for digital wallets?

IDN .PAY names may be possible only in supported scripts and must meet registry rules. Use domain.pay to check the exact label and punycode-style status before planning a launch: https://domain.pay/register. Availability, premium and policy restrictions still apply.

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.
