Frequently asked questions about headache.dot
As a brand-protection manager, 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.
Is browsing better than searching for finding a headache.dot alternative?
Both help: searching headache.dot on domain.pay targets close matches to headache.dot, while browsing the curated catalog surfaces ideas you wouldn't think to type. Using both casts the widest net. Try both at https://domain.pay/domains.
