Frequently asked questions about resident.dot

For mobile money, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?

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.

Why are short .PAY names like resident.dot in high demand at launch?

Short, payment-themed names such as resident.dot are scarce and instantly communicate their purpose, so demand spikes during launch phases. Securing resident.dot early through a pre-order is the practical response. Browse short names at https://domain.pay/domains.

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for crypto payments?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

Which registration path is right for resident.dot, priority or pre-order?

If you own a trademark matching resident.dot and have a TMCH SMD file, trademark-priority registration is the right path for resident.dot; otherwise, a standard pre-order at $100 is the route. The flow on domain.pay recommends the correct option for resident.dot. Choose at https://domain.pay/register.

As a checkout product manager, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

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.
