Frequently asked questions about ants.dot
For crypto payments, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?
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.
How do I track the launch timeline for ants.dot?
The simplest way to track ants.dot's launch timeline is to pre-order it with domain.pay, which then monitors the sunrise and general-availability schedule and submits your request at the right time. Start tracking ants.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Does .PAY have anti-abuse rules for cross-border payments?
Amazon Registry policies include abuse-prevention rules for .PAY, and registrants remain subject to applicable domain dispute and abuse procedures. For legitimate registration or pre-order, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Pair the domain with monitoring, SSL and clear customer messaging.
How does trademark priority work when registering ants.dot?
If ants.dot matches a trademark you hold, you can claim priority through the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) using a Signed Mark Data (SMD) file. Validated marks get first access to ants.dot during the registry's sunrise phase. Have your SMD ready before pre-ordering ants.dot.
What happens to my money if the .PAY registration attempt fails when choosing loans.pay?
domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.
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.
