Frequently asked questions about theregistry.dot

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for in-app purchases?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

What can a delivery service do with theregistry.dot?

A delivery service can host order payment and tipping on theregistry.dot, giving customers one trusted address from cart to driver tip. The .PAY name keeps the experience consistent across the journey. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for digital wallets?

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 add a subdomain like blog.theregistry.dot?

Create a DNS record for the subdomain — typically a CNAME pointing blog.theregistry.dot at your host, or an A record to its IP. The subdomain of theregistry.dot inherits nothing automatically, so configure SSL and hosting for it separately. Manage records for theregistry.dot via /domains.

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for point-of-sale payments?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: 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.
