Frequently asked questions about hwy.dot
Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for card processing?
.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.
What if someone with a trademark wants hwy.dot too?
If a trademark holder has a matching mark, they can claim hwy.dot during sunrise, before general availability where you would register. That is why checking hwy.dot's eligibility early matters. domain.pay can advise on your options at https://domain.pay/register.
What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for payroll disbursements for payroll disbursements?
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.
What DNS records do I need to point hwy.dot at my website?
To serve a site on hwy.dot you typically add an A record (and AAAA for IPv6) pointing the apex to your host's IP, plus a CNAME for the www subdomain. Set these in your DNS panel after registering hwy.dot, then allow propagation to finish before testing. You can start the process at https://domain.pay/register.
How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration for online checkout?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
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.
