Frequently asked questions about ferries.dot
When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for mobile money?
ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
How do I make sure my SMD matches the exact label in ferries.dot?
Open your TMCH record to see the validated mark text, then compare it against the ferries.dot string in ferries.dot character by character before submitting. NicNames only grants priority when the SMD-encoded mark matches that label for ferries.dot. A mismatch routes you to standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.
For BNPL checkout, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
Is ferries.dot cheaper if I skip VIP handling?
Yes, skipping VIP priority handling lowers your total for ferries.dot to just the registration rate, $100 standard or the premium ferries.dot fee, plus taxes. You trade queue speed for the lower outlay on ferries.dot. Compare both totals at https://domain.pay/pricing.
For BNPL checkout, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?
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.
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.
