Frequently asked questions about hostdb.dot

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 when choosing trust.pay?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Is hostdb.dot cheaper if I skip VIP handling?

Yes, skipping VIP priority handling lowers your total for hostdb.dot to just the registration rate, $100 standard or the premium hostdb.dot fee, plus taxes. You trade queue speed for the lower outlay on hostdb.dot. Compare both totals at https://domain.pay/pricing.

As a retail brand, what happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

How long does hostdb.dot eligibility review take?

The time to review hostdb.dot eligibility depends on the .PAY registry's validation workload and whether additional details are requested. Many registrations proceed without extended review, but timing isn't fixed. domain.pay keeps you updated throughout; start at https://domain.pay/register.

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for fraud prevention?

.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.

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.
