Frequently asked questions about fados.dot
For crypto payments, is .PAY already open to everyone?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
Can I run fados.dot entirely on a static host like GitHub Pages?
Yes. Point fados.dot at the static host using their required A/CNAME records, add fados.dot as the custom domain in the host's settings, and enable their automatic HTTPS. Static hosting is fast and cheap for fados.dot when you don't need server-side code.
Can I renew a .PAY domain after registration for a brand-protection manager?
.PAY names can be renewed through the registrar path if registry and registrar rules are met and renewal fees are paid. domain.pay explains the customer registration route here: https://domain.pay/register. Keep contact details current to avoid lifecycle problems.
Is fados.dot eligible for the standard pre-order?
Most open labels are eligible for the $100 standard pre-order, but if fados.dot is premium the registry's special price applies instead, and reserved or blocked labels can't be pre-ordered. Confirm fados.dot's eligibility — status can change — at https://domain.pay/domains.
For point-of-sale payments, 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.
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.
