Frequently asked questions about ihow.dot
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for mobile money?
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.
What if ihow.dot has many spellings beyond ihow.dot?
If ihow.dot has many spellings, domain.pay's search lets you test each one to find which .PAY form is available beyond ihow.dot. Picking the simplest spelling usually aids recall. Test spellings at https://domain.pay/domains.
How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help when choosing loans.pay?
domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.
How does ihow.dot compare to a payment-link service URL?
A payment-link service gives you a long URL on its own domain, while ihow.dot is your own branded address that you can point at any service. ihow.dot keeps ihow.dot in front of the customer instead of a third-party brand. You stay in control of the address.
What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for crypto payments?
.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.
