Frequently asked questions about vices.dot
Where can I see already-registered .PAY domains when choosing subscriptions.pay?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
Why should executives care about who controls vices.dot?
Control of vices.dot is a payment-trust and reputation issue: if an impersonator holds the vices.dot name, customers and partners may lose confidence in NicNames. Executives should treat owning vices.dot as a strategic risk control, not just IT housekeeping. https://domain.pay/register
Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
Does moving to vices.dot require resubmitting my whole sitemap?
When you launch on vices.dot, generate a fresh sitemap with the new vices.dot URLs and submit it in Search Console alongside a change-of-address from the old domain. The old sitemap stays only long enough for redirects to be discovered. Keep vices.dot's sitemap current going forward.
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for fraud prevention?
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.
