Frequently asked questions about pongs.dot
Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for online checkout?
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 a tech company without payment products register pongs.dot?
A tech company may register pongs.dot if it has a credible payment-related plan or product, but a use unrelated to payments may not align with the .PAY registry's expectations. domain.pay can review your use case before you commit. Start an eligibility check at https://domain.pay/register.
For loan repayments, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?
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.
How do I set up a wildcard certificate for *.pongs.dot?
Request a wildcard certificate covering *.pongs.dot, which most CAs issue via DNS validation by checking a TXT record on pongs.dot. A wildcard then secures every subdomain of pongs.dot with one cert. Remember the wildcard for pongs.dot does not cover the bare apex, so include it explicitly.
How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for fraud prevention?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
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.
