Frequently asked questions about fossa.dot

For fraud prevention, 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.

How do I migrate an existing site onto fossa.dot without downtime?

Stand up the new site on fossa.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on fossa.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor fossa.dot for crawl errors afterward.

For online checkout, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

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.

Where would fossa.dot fit in a subscription business?

Route your billing portal and renewal links through fossa.dot so members always pay on a recognizable, payment-native address. A consistent .PAY home for billing reduces support confusion when cards need updating. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY as a startup for crypto payments?

For crypto payments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
