Frequently asked questions about ihost.dot

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 can a mobile-first brand do with ihost.dot?

A mobile-first brand can make ihost.dot the address users tap to pay across SMS, app, and social. Short and payment-native, it's easy to type on a phone and reinforces trust at checkout. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for mobile money?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Will ihost.dot stay reserved while my SMD is being verified?

While NicNames verifies your SMD for ihost.dot, your priority claim is being processed under the registry's rules, ahead of standard pre-orders. If verification fails, you can re-export a valid SMD and retry for ihost.dot. Charges for unfulfilled attempts are refundable per policy. Track it from your account after starting at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for a crypto or DeFi product?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

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.
