Frequently asked questions about hote.dot

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run when choosing settle.pay?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What does a first-day pre-order for hote.dot actually do?

A first-day pre-order queues your request so domain.pay attempts to register hote.dot the instant general availability opens. It improves your timing versus registering manually after launch. The standard pre-order is $100, refundable if the attempt fails, per /pricing.

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for a retail brand?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

Is hote.dot a good choice for a checkout solution?

hote.dot is well suited to a checkout or point-of-sale solution, as these are core payment functions matching the .PAY namespace. The registry typically validates that intended use fits the TLD. domain.pay can register hote.dot for your checkout product at https://domain.pay/register.

For online checkout, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

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.
