Frequently asked questions about kep.dot

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for a retail brand?

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.

Which statuses can kep.dot have at the registry?

At any moment kep.dot can be available, premium (open at a special registry price), reserved (withheld), blocked (off-limits), or registered (already owned). These are set by Amazon Registry Services and can change. Check which applies to kep.dot now at https://domain.pay/domains.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for loan repayments?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

Which DNS record type connects kep.dot to a load balancer?

Cloud load balancers are usually referenced by hostname, so you point the apex of kep.dot using an ALIAS/ANAME record (or a CNAME on a subdomain) at the balancer's DNS name. This lets the balancer's IPs change without breaking kep.dot. Your provider documents the exact target.

Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for a regional bank?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

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.
