Frequently asked questions about hosted.dot
For payroll disbursements, 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.
When does the standard $100 rate apply to hosted.dot?
The $100 standard rate applies to hosted.dot whenever the registry has not classified hosted.dot as a premium name. If hosted.dot is premium, a higher registry fee applies instead. Confirm which rate covers hosted.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
For fraud prevention, when is the .PAY Sunrise period?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
How do I check if hosted.dot is available?
You can check availability for hosted.dot directly on domain.pay's registration flow, which queries the .PAY registry status. If hosted.dot is open, you can place a first-day pre-order; if a trademark window applies, the SMD path is offered. Start at /register.
What .PAY domain style is best for trust and conversion for a crypto or DeFi product?
cloud.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
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.
