Frequently asked questions about hood.dot

For loan repayments, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Can I switch from a pre-order to a trademark-priority claim for hood.dot?

If you obtain a valid SMD for the hood.dot mark, you can pursue the trademark-priority path for hood.dot rather than relying on a standard pre-order. The priority route requires that SMD at claim time. Any unfulfilled pre-order on hood.dot is refundable per policy. Choose the priority path at https://domain.pay/register.

Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY?

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.

Why keep a fallback name ready alongside hood.dot?

Keeping a fallback alongside hood.dot protects you if your top pre-order doesn't land, since a refundable $100 attempt means a backup adds little risk. domain.pay makes lining up a hood.dot fallback easy. Set one up at https://domain.pay/register.

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run when choosing travel.pay?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
