Frequently asked questions about smite.dot

For mobile money, can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

What happens if I let smite.dot expire after registering it?

If smite.dot lapses, it can be re-registered by someone else, reopening the impersonation risk you closed. Keep smite.dot renewed so the smite.dot name stays continuously under NicNames's control. Manage your registration at https://domain.pay/.

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for payroll disbursements?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Why is impersonation on smite.dot harder for customers to detect?

Because .PAY implies a payment purpose, customers tend to assume any smite.dot address under it is legitimate, lowering their guard. That assumption is exactly why an unprotected smite.dot is dangerous and why NicNames should own it. https://domain.pay/register

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments when choosing bank.pay?

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.

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.
