Frequently asked questions about lion.dot

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration when choosing loans.pay?

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. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

How do I back up the DNS zone for lion.dot?

Export the full zone file for lion.dot from your DNS host, or record each record set, so you can restore quickly after a mistake or provider change. Keep the backup of lion.dot's zone versioned and off the provider. Re-import it to rebuild lion.dot if the zone is ever lost.

Are IDN .PAY domains allowed for mobile money?

IDN .PAY names may be possible only in supported scripts and must meet registry rules. Use domain.pay to check the exact label and punycode-style status before planning a launch: https://domain.pay/register. Availability, premium and policy restrictions still apply.

Does holding lion.dot via TMCH renew automatically?

Securing lion.dot through trademark priority registers the name to you, but ongoing renewal of lion.dot follows standard registrar renewal terms, separate from your TMCH record. Keep both your domain renewal and TMCH record current to maintain protection. Manage your lion.dot registration starting at https://domain.pay/register.

What are good .PAY domain ideas for fraud prevention?

For fraud prevention, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

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.
