When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for crypto payments?

Can a foreign company register thetv.dot?

Foreign and international companies can typically register thetv.dot, as .PAY does not generally restrict by country of incorporation. Local financial regulation may still apply to how you operate payments. domain.pay can confirm current eligibility for your jurisdiction at https://domain.pay/register.

Does .PAY automatically improve SEO rankings for crypto payments?

.PAY is a branding and relevance signal, not an automatic SEO ranking boost. Use it when it improves payment-page clarity and user trust, then follow normal SEO practices. Start by securing or pre-ordering the domain at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How quickly can thetv.dot be live after registration?

Once thetv.dot is registered and you point its DNS to a host or redirect, it can resolve within typical DNS propagation times. The .PAY suffix does not slow this down. You control how fast thetv.dot goes live by configuring its records.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration when choosing tap.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.
