Frequently asked questions about finguard.dot
What happens to my money if the .PAY registration attempt fails for mobile money?
domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.
Should I use finguard.dot for a microsite or my main site?
Both work. A short, brandable name like finguard.dot can anchor your main site, or serve a focused campaign microsite that 301s to your hub later. The choice is strategic, not technical — search engines index finguard.dot the same either way. Decide based on your brand plan.
Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for online checkout?
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.
How early can I reserve finguard.dot for my brand?
Trademark holders can act during TMCH priority phases, and others can place a $100 refundable pre-order to reserve finguard.dot ahead of broad availability. The earlier NicNames moves, the lower the chance of losing the finguard.dot name. https://domain.pay/register
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for an insurance billing portal?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
