Frequently asked questions about decided.dot
Can I use nameservers and DNS like other domains with .PAY for a bank or credit union?
After registration, plan DNS, SSL, redirects, security monitoring and payment-page controls as you would for a production domain. Start by securing the .PAY name through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. A domain alone does not make a checkout secure.
What is the order of phases that affects decided.dot: priority, pre-order, general?
For decided.dot, trademark priority comes first for validated SMD holders, then first-day pre-order opens to others at $100, and finally general registration. Each phase narrows who has the advantage on decided.dot. Knowing the order helps you pick the right moment. See current phase details at https://domain.pay/.
How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing when choosing link.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.
Is a TMCH SMD file required to pre-order decided.dot?
No — a standard $100 pre-order for decided.dot doesn't require an SMD file. You only need a TMCH SMD if you want trademark priority on decided.dot ahead of general applicants. Choose the right path for decided.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for digital wallets?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
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.
