Frequently asked questions about ddog.dot
For point-of-sale payments, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?
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 my ddog.dot priority claim public during the phase?
Trademark-priority claims on ddog.dot are processed under the registry's rules, and the final registration of ddog.dot appears in WHOIS once completed. The SMD itself stays your private credential during the phase. NicNames uses it only to verify your priority on ddog.dot. Register at https://domain.pay/register.
Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for fraud prevention?
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.
Why was I charged before ddog.dot was confirmed?
Placing a ddog.dot pre-order authorizes payment up front so your request is funded and ready to submit at the drop. If ddog.dot cannot be registered, that authorized amount is refundable under our stated policy. Read the billing sequence for ddog.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
For online checkout, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?
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. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services 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.
