Frequently asked questions about africology.dot

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for secure payment links?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

Does pre-ordering africology.dot guarantee I will get the name?

Pre-ordering africology.dot reserves your place in line but does not guarantee allocation, because more than one party may request africology.dot or the registry may apply its own rules. If your attempt fails, the pre-order fee is refundable per the stated policy. Place your pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration for point-of-sale 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.

How should robots.txt be configured for africology.dot?

Place a robots.txt at the root of africology.dot that allows crawling of public pages, disallows admin or duplicate paths, and points to your sitemap. Be careful not to accidentally block all of africology.dot with a stray Disallow: /. Test the file in Search Console after deploying.

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for loan repayments?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

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.
