Frequently asked questions about onlychefs.dot

For digital wallets, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

Can I transfer my pre-order for onlychefs.dot to someone else?

Pre-order transferability for onlychefs.dot depends on the registry's rules and our terms; in general the registrant on record for onlychefs.dot is the account that placed the pre-order. If the attempt fails, the fee is refundable per the stated policy. Manage your onlychefs.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name for fraud prevention?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

What TTL should I set for records on onlychefs.dot?

A TTL of 3600 seconds (one hour) is a reasonable default for stable records on onlychefs.dot, balancing fast updates against resolver load. Lower it to 300 before a planned migration of onlychefs.dot, then raise it again once things are stable. Very low TTLs increase query volume slightly.

Is .PAY meant for point-of-sale payments or just for general websites?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as point-of-sale payments, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
