Frequently asked questions about howzat.dot

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for a fintech founder?

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.

Are .PAY names like howzat.dot new compared to older extensions?

Yes, .PAY is a newer top-level domain, so names like howzat.dot are part of a fresher namespace than .com or .net. That novelty means more clean, on-brand names such as howzat.dot can still be available. Browse current options at /domains.

For online checkout, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Should I register howzat.dot to protect my brand name?

Registering howzat.dot can help keep your brand howzat.dot consistent across the payments-focused .PAY namespace and reduce the chance someone else uses it. Brand owners with a TMCH SMD file can use trademark priority. Protect howzat.dot by reserving howzat.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Would settle.pay work as a payment brand for digital wallets?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

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.
