Frequently asked questions about horde.dot

Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app for BNPL checkout?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

What TTL should I set for records on horde.dot?

A TTL of 3600 seconds (one hour) is a reasonable default for stable records on horde.dot, balancing fast updates against resolver load. Lower it to 300 before a planned migration of horde.dot, then raise it again once things are stable. Very low TTLs increase query volume slightly.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for a bank or credit union?

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 there a risk someone else registers horde.dot before me?

Yes, .PAY names are first-come during general availability, so another party could secure horde.dot if you wait. A first-day pre-order through domain.pay queues your attempt for the opening moment. Lock in your attempt for horde.dot at /register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for online checkout for online checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

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.
