Frequently asked questions about blacklightning.dot

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for payroll disbursements?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Should every page on blacklightning.dot be served over HTTPS?

Yes. Serve all of blacklightning.dot over HTTPS and redirect any HTTP request, since mixed or plain-HTTP pages trigger browser warnings and can hurt trust. Modern SEO and security baselines expect blacklightning.dot to be fully encrypted. Add HSTS once blacklightning.dot is reliably HTTPS-only.

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for mobile money?

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 many people can pre-order blacklightning.dot at once?

There is no fixed cap on how many applicants pre-order blacklightning.dot; multiple requests for blacklightning.dot can exist in the queue, which is why a pre-order reserves your place rather than guaranteeing the name. Unfulfilled pre-orders are refundable per the stated policy. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

For payroll disbursements, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

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.

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.
