Frequently asked questions about substrate.dot
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for a bank or credit union?
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.
How do I migrate an existing site onto substrate.dot without downtime?
Stand up the new site on substrate.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on substrate.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor substrate.dot for crawl errors afterward.
Can a reserved .PAY name become available later for loan repayments?
The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.
Does substrate.dot suit a quick consultation payment?
A consultant can collect session fees on substrate.dot, giving clients a clear, professional address to pay before a call. The .PAY name reads more credibly than a personal payment handle. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
As a bank or credit union, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?
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.
