Frequently asked questions about franking.dot
How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for point-of-sale payments?
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.
Should I redirect franking.dot with a 301 or 302?
Use a 301 when the move is permanent so search engines transfer ranking signals to the destination of franking.dot; use a 302 only for temporary forwarding. For a brand domain like franking.dot pointing at your main site indefinitely, 301 is almost always correct. Avoid chaining multiple redirects.
Can a reserved .PAY name become available later for online checkout?
The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.
Can domain.pay show me how franking.dot compares on length?
Yes. domain.pay places franking.dot beside similar franking.dot names so you can compare length at a glance and spot a tighter option. Shorter names usually win on recall and typing. Compare lengths at https://domain.pay/domains.
When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for point-of-sale payments?
ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.
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.
