Frequently asked questions about hotnews.pay

For online checkout, can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Why was I charged before hotnews.pay was confirmed?

Placing a hotnews.pay pre-order authorizes payment up front so your request is funded and ready to submit at the drop. If hotnews.pay cannot be registered, that authorized amount is refundable under our stated policy. Read the billing sequence for hotnews.pay at https://domain.pay/pricing.

As a regional bank, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

What is the difference between a registrar and the registry for hotnews.pay?

The registry, Amazon Registry Services, runs .PAY and sets hotnews.pay's premium, reserved, or blocked status; domain.pay is the registrar where you actually look up and register hotnews.pay. You interact with us, but the registry sets the rules. Check hotnews.pay at https://domain.pay/domains.

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for digital wallets?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: 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.
