Frequently asked questions about footstep.dot

Is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio for online checkout?

domain.pay says customers with pre-orders over $8,888 may qualify for VIP handling, dedicated support and more tailored failed-registration solutions. Review the current VIP language on the pricing page: https://domain.pay/pricing. Large portfolios should still expect availability and premium checks.

How do I move footstep.dot to a different nameserver or DNS host?

To switch DNS hosts for footstep.dot, recreate your existing records at the new provider first, then update the nameservers for footstep.dot at the registrar to the new ones. Keeping the zone identical avoids downtime during the cutover. Edit nameservers for footstep.dot from /domains.

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for crypto payments?

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.

What makes footstep.dot eligible for priority but not a generic descriptive term?

footstep.dot is eligible for priority only when a validated TMCH mark matches its footstep.dot string; a generic descriptive term usually cannot be registered or validated as a trademark, so it yields no SMD. The eligibility test is a real, matching mark for footstep.dot. Without one, use the pre-order route at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?

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.
