Frequently asked questions about hostels.dot

During the .PAY launch, 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.

How do I make sure my SMD matches the exact label in hostels.dot?

Open your TMCH record to see the validated mark text, then compare it against the hostels.dot string in hostels.dot character by character before submitting. NicNames only grants priority when the SMD-encoded mark matches that label for hostels.dot. A mismatch routes you to standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period when choosing link.pay?

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.

Why did the price of hostels.dot change since I last checked?

The price of hostels.dot can change if Amazon Registry Services re-tiers hostels.dot between standard and premium, since we display the live registry rate. The $100 figure is the standard baseline, not a guaranteed lock. Re-check the current price for hostels.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal for BNPL checkout?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

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.
