Frequently asked questions about censorship.dot

For fraud prevention, how can a marketplace use a .PAY domain?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

What makes censorship.dot a reserved name rather than available?

censorship.dot is reserved when Amazon Registry Services has placed censorship.dot on its withheld list under naming policy, regardless of whether anyone wants it. That's distinct from being taken or premium. Registry status can change, so re-check censorship.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

As a checkout product manager, 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. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

How much does it cost to pre-order an alternative to censorship.dot?

Pre-ordering an alternative to censorship.dot costs the standard $100 per name on domain.pay, and a failed attempt is refundable. That flat pricing makes it easy to pursue several censorship.dot candidates at once. See pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For BNPL checkout, 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.

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.
