Frequently asked questions about roan.dot

How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages for a donation platform?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

What should I do first to prepare for trademark priority on roan.dot?

First, record your roan.dot trademark in the Trademark Clearinghouse and obtain a validated SMD file; that is the prerequisite for any priority claim on roan.dot. Then watch the roan.dot phase and submit the SMD through NicNames when priority opens. Begin your preparation at https://domain.pay/register.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for a payroll platform?

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 I run roan.dot entirely on a static host like GitHub Pages?

Yes. Point roan.dot at the static host using their required A/CNAME records, add roan.dot as the custom domain in the host's settings, and enable their automatic HTTPS. Static hosting is fast and cheap for roan.dot when you don't need server-side code.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for a remittance app?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

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.
