Frequently asked questions about howse.dot
Is .PAY a new domain option for insurance billing portals for point-of-sale payments?
.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For point-of-sale payments, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.
How does howse.dot compare to using a /pay path on a .com site?
With howse.dot the payment intent lives in the domain itself, while a /pay path hangs off a longer .com URL that may be hard to recall. howse.dot is easier to say aloud, print, or put on a QR code. Both can route to the same processor, but howse.dot is the cleaner address.
What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for mobile money?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.
How early should I prepare my SMD relative to the howse.dot priority phase?
Prepare your SMD well before the howse.dot priority phase, since TMCH validation takes time you do not control. Having a valid SMD ready means you can submit the moment priority opens for howse.dot. Late preparation risks missing the window. Get set up and register at https://domain.pay/register.
What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for digital wallets?
domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.
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.
