Frequently asked questions about moderation.dot
For BNPL checkout, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?
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.
Why is impersonation on moderation.dot harder for customers to detect?
Because .PAY implies a payment purpose, customers tend to assume any moderation.dot address under it is legitimate, lowering their guard. That assumption is exactly why an unprotected moderation.dot is dangerous and why NicNames should own it. https://domain.pay/register
For BNPL checkout, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
Should my final pick read better than moderation.dot in an ad?
Yes, your final pick should read at least as cleanly as moderation.dot in an ad, where short, clear moderation.dot wording catches the eye fastest. domain.pay's comparison view helps you test how candidates look in headlines. Compare options at https://domain.pay/domains.
Where can I see already-registered .PAY domains when choosing cloud.pay?
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.
