Frequently asked questions about 612.dot
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for point-of-sale payments?
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.
Why is acting fast important to secure 612.dot?
Names like 612.dot are registered on a first-eligible basis, so delay gives impersonators or speculators a chance to take your 612.dot name. Acting fast through priority phases or a $100 refundable pre-order keeps 612.dot under NicNames's control. https://domain.pay/register
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration when choosing link.pay?
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.
Why is 612.dot a trust anchor in customer communications?
Referencing 612.dot as the sole official payment address gives customers a fixed, verifiable point to trust in every message from NicNames. That consistency makes deviations from the real 612.dot name stand out as suspicious. Establish it at https://domain.pay/register.
Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for fraud prevention?
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
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.
