Frequently asked questions about despot.dot

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period when choosing bank.pay?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

What is the difference between a registrar and the registry for despot.dot?

The registry, Amazon Registry Services, runs .PAY and sets despot.dot's premium, reserved, or blocked status; domain.pay is the registrar where you actually look up and register despot.dot. You interact with us, but the registry sets the rules. Check despot.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Is identity verification part of getting despot.dot?

Identity or registrant verification can be part of acquiring despot.dot where the .PAY registry's validation calls for it. Requirements may vary by intended use and over time. domain.pay relays any verification steps so you can respond quickly; start at https://domain.pay/register.

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for payroll disbursements?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

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.
