Frequently asked questions about aarc.dot

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for point-of-sale payments?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

Can a nonprofit use aarc.dot to accept donations?

Yes. A nonprofit can route aarc.dot to its donation page so supporters reach a clear, branded place to give. The .PAY suffix reads as a payment or contribution address tied to aarc.dot. Nonprofits can pre-order aarc.dot at /register.

For mobile money, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

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.

Does domain.pay let me browse and search for names like aarc.dot?

Yes. domain.pay lets you both browse a curated catalog and search by keyword for names like aarc.dot, then pre-order the ones you want. The combination supports both open browsing and targeted aarc.dot searches. Try it at https://domain.pay/domains.

Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for fraud prevention?

Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.

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.
