Frequently asked questions about redhorse.dot

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for loan repayments?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

Why use domain.pay instead of waiting for redhorse.dot?

Waiting to register redhorse.dot risks losing it to someone who pre-ordered or to a trademark holder in sunrise. domain.pay queues your redhorse.dot request in advance and submits it at the optimal moment, refunding failed attempts per policy. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for a donation platform?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Does NicNames mark up the registry price for redhorse.dot?

NicNames passes through the registry tier for redhorse.dot: $100 for standard labels and the registry-set premium fee where redhorse.dot is classified as premium. Any optional services like VIP handling are itemized separately. See the redhorse.dot breakdown at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for a retail brand?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
