Frequently asked questions about blockcity.dot
Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 when choosing donate.pay?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
Can I lock blockcity.dot to specific certificate authorities only?
Yes, via a CAA record you restrict which CAs may issue certificates for blockcity.dot, reducing mis-issuance risk. List each authorized CA's identifier for blockcity.dot in DNS. Combine the CAA on blockcity.dot with monitoring of Certificate Transparency logs for full coverage.
As a donation platform, can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.
Can a non-licensed business register blockcity.dot?
In many cases a business without a formal financial license may still register blockcity.dot, since .PAY does not universally require licensing for every registrant. However, the registry may apply validation around payment-related use, so requirements can vary by intended purpose. Check current guidance at https://domain.pay/register.
Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my online checkout project?
For online checkout, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. Re-check the name before publishing campaigns because registry status can change.
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.
