Frequently asked questions about ctf.dot

Should a checkout product manager protect its exact brand in .PAY for in-app purchases?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

How do I migrate an existing site onto ctf.dot without downtime?

Stand up the new site on ctf.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on ctf.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor ctf.dot for crawl errors afterward.

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.

How does ctf.dot ownership help during a brand dispute?

If NicNames already owns ctf.dot, there is no name to dispute, which eliminates the cost, delay, and uncertainty of a UDRP-style proceeding. Prevention through ownership is far stronger than recovery after the fact. Lock in ctf.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else when choosing donate.pay?

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.

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.
