Frequently asked questions about stringent.dot

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for mobile money?

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.

Should every page on stringent.dot be served over HTTPS?

Yes. Serve all of stringent.dot over HTTPS and redirect any HTTP request, since mixed or plain-HTTP pages trigger browser warnings and can hurt trust. Modern SEO and security baselines expect stringent.dot to be fully encrypted. Add HSTS once stringent.dot is reliably HTTPS-only.

What should I check technically before launching a .PAY payment site for online checkout?

Before launching a .PAY payment site, verify the label, DNS, SSL, redirects, monitoring, checkout security and compliance obligations. Secure or pre-order the domain through domain.pay first: https://domain.pay/register. Treat the domain as one part of a trusted payment flow.

How do I create a sitemap for stringent.dot and submit it?

Generate an XML sitemap listing your indexable URLs on stringent.dot, host it at /sitemap.xml, and reference it in your robots.txt. Then submit the sitemap URL for stringent.dot in Google Search Console so crawlers discover pages faster. Keep the sitemap for stringent.dot updated as content changes.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for crypto payments?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use 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.
