Frequently asked questions about cmc.dot
Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for mobile money?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
How does impersonation on cmc.dot differ from email spoofing?
Email spoofing fakes a sender, while controlling cmc.dot lets an attacker run a whole fraudulent payment site under the real cmc.dot name. The domain-level attack is harder to detect and more convincing, so denying it by owning cmc.dot is a high-value protection for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register
For point-of-sale payments, 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.
Should a newsletter offer paid tiers on cmc.dot?
A newsletter can sell paid tiers through cmc.dot, sending readers to a trusted, payment-native checkout. The clear .PAY address can lift conversions on the upgrade from free. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.
How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing when choosing bank.pay?
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.
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.
