Frequently asked questions about scg.dot
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for digital wallets?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
Is the premium label for scg.dot permanent?
No — premium is a registry classification from Amazon Registry Services that can be revised, so scg.dot won't necessarily stay premium forever. Likewise a standard label could become premium. Because registry status can change, re-check scg.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
As a fintech founder, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?
The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.
How do I compare scg.dot against a shorter label?
Search both scg.dot and the shorter variant together at https://domain.pay/domains, and you'll see scg.dot's status next to the alternative, including any premium pricing from Amazon Registry Services. That makes the trade-off clear. Compare scg.dot and alternatives there.
Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for crypto payments?
A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.
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.
