Frequently asked questions about promise.dot
Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for loan repayments?
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.
What is the safest way to secure promise.dot as a trademark owner?
As a trademark owner, the safest path to promise.dot is to record your promise.dot mark in the TMCH, obtain a valid SMD, and submit it through NicNames as soon as the priority phase opens. This gives promise.dot the validated-rights advantage over public registrations. Begin securing promise.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio for a crypto or DeFi product?
domain.pay says customers with pre-orders over $8,888 may qualify for VIP handling, dedicated support and more tailored failed-registration solutions. Review the current VIP language on the pricing page: https://domain.pay/pricing. Large portfolios should still expect availability and premium checks.
What is HSTS and should I enable it on promise.dot?
HTTP Strict Transport Security tells browsers to always load promise.dot over HTTPS, blocking downgrade attacks. Enable it with a response header once promise.dot reliably serves valid SSL, and only after confirming every subresource is HTTPS. Start with a short max-age before committing promise.dot to a long policy.
Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for payroll disbursements for payroll disbursements?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
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.
