Frequently asked questions about hots.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for payroll disbursements?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

What is the order of .PAY launch phases for hots.dot?

The order for hots.dot is sunrise first (trademark holders only), then general availability (open to everyone). Knowing this order tells you which phase to target for hots.dot and when to act. domain.pay queues you for the right one at https://domain.pay/register.

Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order for online checkout?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

How soon should I renew hots.dot before it expires?

Renew hots.dot at least a couple of weeks before the expiry date, or simply enable auto-renew, to avoid any grace or redemption stage. Early renewal usually just extends the term of hots.dot from the existing date. Confirm renewal pricing for hots.dot at /pricing.

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for loan repayments?

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.

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.
