Frequently asked questions about hoteltips.dot
As a bank or credit union, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
Where can I pre-order hoteltips.dot to protect the NicNames name?
You can pre-order hoteltips.dot directly through domain.pay, with a standard pre-order fee of $100 and refunds on failed attempts. Securing hoteltips.dot this way puts the official hoteltips.dot payment name under NicNames's control. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
As a brand-protection manager, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?
The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.
Does Amazon operate the .PAY registry behind hoteltips.dot?
Yes — .PAY, and therefore hoteltips.dot, is operated by Amazon Registry Services, which sets the policies that classify labels as premium, reserved, or blocked. domain.pay is the registrar surface where you check and register hoteltips.dot. See live status for hoteltips.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.
Is .PAY already open to everyone for an ecommerce brand?
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. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.
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.
