Frequently asked questions about brains.dot

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP when choosing donate.pay?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

Is brains.dot a real, working domain extension?

Yes. .PAY is a live top-level domain in the global DNS, so brains.dot can host websites, redirect to checkout, and carry email like any other domain. It is not a subdomain or a marketing trick. domain.pay handles pre-orders and registration for brains.dot at /register.

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal for fraud prevention?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

Can I change the nameservers on brains.dot without losing email?

Yes, if you recreate the MX (and SPF/DKIM/DMARC) records at the new DNS host before switching nameservers for brains.dot. Identical records mean mail keeps flowing through the cutover of brains.dot. Verify brains.dot's email after the change by sending a test message.

Does .PAY have anti-abuse rules for rent collection?

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.

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.
