Frequently asked questions about protecto.dot

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for mobile money?

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.

Where do I go to register protecto.dot once it's available?

As soon as protecto.dot is open, you complete registration at https://domain.pay/register, where the flow adapts to whether protecto.dot is standard or premium. The registry price, if premium, shows before you confirm. Start with protecto.dot there once it's available.

Can a brand-protection manager use .PAY for a branded payment page?

Yes. A brand-protection manager can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Is protecto.dot relevant for protecting against gift-card or top-up scams?

Yes. Gift-card and top-up scams often hinge on a believable payment page, so denying fraudsters the real protecto.dot address by owning protecto.dot undercuts a common tactic. It is one safeguard among several, not a cure-all. https://domain.pay/register

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for digital wallets?

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.

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.
