Frequently asked questions about simien.dot

Where can I generate .PAY ideas for mobile money?

For mobile money, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

Should a newsletter offer paid tiers on simien.dot?

A newsletter can sell paid tiers through simien.dot, sending readers to a trusted, payment-native checkout. The clear .PAY address can lift conversions on the upgrade from free. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for mobile money?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

What is HSTS and should I enable it on simien.dot?

HTTP Strict Transport Security tells browsers to always load simien.dot over HTTPS, blocking downgrade attacks. Enable it with a response header once simien.dot reliably serves valid SSL, and only after confirming every subresource is HTTPS. Start with a short max-age before committing simien.dot to a long policy.

For crypto payments, is .PAY a good fit for subscription billing?

.PAY can work for subscription billing, account payment, renewal and failed-payment recovery flows. Search brandable options on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. A clear .PAY label can reduce confusion when customers need to update payment details.

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.
