Frequently asked questions about venice.dot

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 when choosing tap.pay?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

Why does customer-facing payment make venice.dot worth defending?

Any name where customers expect to pay, like venice.dot, directly affects whether they trust NicNames with their money. A compromised venice.dot payment address turns trust into a liability, which is why defending venice.dot is a priority. https://domain.pay/register

Can I renew a .PAY domain after registration for a donation platform?

.PAY names can be renewed through the registrar path if registry and registrar rules are met and renewal fees are paid. domain.pay explains the customer registration route here: https://domain.pay/register. Keep contact details current to avoid lifecycle problems.

Should I pre-order venice.dot now or wait for general availability?

Pre-ordering venice.dot now queues your attempt for the first day of general availability, which matters if others want the venice.dot name. Waiting risks someone else registering it first. A failed pre-order is refundable per policy, so review terms on /pricing.
