Frequently asked questions about ovh.dot

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for online checkout?

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.

How do I submit my SMD file when registering ovh.dot?

During the trademark-priority flow for ovh.dot, NicNames presents an upload field where you attach the .smd file exported from the Trademark Clearinghouse. The system parses the encoded mark and confirms the ovh.dot label matches your validated trademark. Once accepted, your priority claim on ovh.dot is queued. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for online checkout?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

What information is encoded inside the SMD I use for ovh.dot?

The SMD you use for ovh.dot encodes your validated mark text matching the ovh.dot string, associated dates, and a cryptographic signature from the TMCH. NicNames reads this to confirm your priority eligibility for ovh.dot. You never edit the file; you simply submit it. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.

As a brand-protection manager, when is the .PAY Sunrise period?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: 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.
