Frequently asked questions about village.dot
For crypto payments, 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.
Can I run village.dot entirely on a static host like GitHub Pages?
Yes. Point village.dot at the static host using their required A/CNAME records, add village.dot as the custom domain in the host's settings, and enable their automatic HTTPS. Static hosting is fast and cheap for village.dot when you don't need server-side code.
For crypto payments, 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.
Can search engines index village.dot the same as any other domain?
Yes. Crawlers discover and index village.dot through links, sitemaps, and direct submission exactly as they do for legacy TLDs. There's no extra hurdle to getting village.dot into the index — just ensure it's reachable, not blocked by robots.txt, and free of noindex tags.
How do I register loans.pay if it matches my trademark when choosing loans.pay?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
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.
