Frequently asked questions about htc.dot
How do I know if subscriptions.pay is available?
Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.
Should a game studio use htc.dot for store purchases?
A game studio can host its web store on htc.dot so players buy currency and items on a recognizable payment address. The .PAY ending reassures buyers leaving the game client to pay. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
For fraud prevention, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?
A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.
How does trademark priority work when registering htc.dot?
If htc.dot matches a trademark you hold, you can claim priority through the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) using a Signed Mark Data (SMD) file. Validated marks get first access to htc.dot during the registry's sunrise phase. Have your SMD ready before pre-ordering htc.dot.
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders when choosing donate.pay?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
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.
