Frequently asked questions about newsroom.dot

As an ecommerce brand, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

Can newsroom.dot host a fundraiser thermometer page?

Yes. A goal-tracking fundraiser page on newsroom.dot lets supporters watch progress and donate at one trusted address. The .PAY name keeps the giving step front and center. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.

Are short .PAY names always available for mobile money?

Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.

What is the difference between defensive and active use of newsroom.dot?

Defensive use means registering newsroom.dot mainly to keep it away from impersonators, while active use means running your real payment flows on it. Either way, owning newsroom.dot protects the newsroom.dot name; many brands start defensively and activate later. https://domain.pay/register

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.

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.
