Frequently asked questions about public.dot

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for online checkout?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

How does securing public.dot reassure investors and partners about NicNames?

Owning public.dot shows investors and partners that NicNames actively controls its payment-facing identity and takes impersonation risk seriously. A clearly held public.dot name on a payment-purpose TLD signals operational maturity. Secure it at https://domain.pay/register.

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/.

Can I claim multiple .PAY domains with one SMD if public.dot is among them?

Each SMD is bound to a specific validated mark, so it can support a priority claim for public.dot where the public.dot string matches that mark. Different domains tied to different strings need their own matching SMDs. Use the right SMD for public.dot when you register. Browse names at https://domain.pay/domains.

What happens to my money if the .PAY registration attempt fails for online checkout?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

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.
