Frequently asked questions about cato.dot

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for an insurance billing portal?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What anti-phishing benefit does the .PAY namespace give to cato.dot?

A payment-purpose namespace concentrates payment activity under names like cato.dot, which makes a single trusted cato.dot address easier for customers to recognize and verify. Owning cato.dot lets NicNames take advantage of that clarity instead of leaving it to impersonators. https://domain.pay/

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal?

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.

Does a failed cato.dot pre-order affect my future pricing?

No. A refunded, failed pre-order on cato.dot does not change the rate you would pay on a later attempt; pricing still follows the registry tier for cato.dot. Each cato.dot order is priced independently at the time you place it. Re-check the rate at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration when choosing bank.pay?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

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.
