Frequently asked questions about hottug.dot

How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

How does hottug.dot fit a deposit-and-balance model?

For businesses that take a deposit then a final balance, hottug.dot hosts both steps on the same trusted address. Customers recognize the .PAY name across the two payments, reducing friction on the second. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup for BNPL checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

What is an SMD file and do I need one for hottug.dot?

A Signed Mark Data (SMD) file is the cryptographic proof issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse that you own a registered mark, and it lets you claim hottug.dot during sunrise. You only need it if hottug.dot corresponds to your trademark and you want priority. Otherwise a standard pre-order for hottug.dot is enough.

Can a trademark holder challenge a bad .PAY Sunrise registration for a mobile wallet team?

.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.

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.
