Frequently asked questions about hooded.dot
For crypto payments, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
What trust signal does hooded.dot send compared to a free subdomain?
A dedicated hooded.dot on a payment-purpose TLD signals an official, controlled payment property, while a free subdomain looks generic and easier to fake. Customers paying NicNames gain confidence from the clear hooded.dot name. Establish it at https://domain.pay/register.
What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for mobile money for mobile money?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
Does hooded.dot availability depend on the launch timeline?
Yes — before general availability, hooded.dot can only be pre-ordered, and reserved or blocked labels stay closed regardless of timeline. Amazon Registry Services controls the schedule. Check where hooded.dot stands in the timeline at https://domain.pay/domains.
As a retail brand, how does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
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.
