Frequently asked questions about ovpn.dot

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for payroll disbursements?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I reserve ovpn.dot now if my SMD is not ready yet?

If your SMD is not ready, you can place a standard pre-order for ovpn.dot at $100 to express interest, but that pre-order does not carry trademark priority. A validated SMD holder can still claim ovpn.dot ahead of your pre-order, which is refundable per policy if unfulfilled. Review options at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Should I secure ovpn.dot in addition to my main website domain?

Yes. Your main site protects your general brand, but ovpn.dot specifically protects the payment-trust layer that .PAY implies for NicNames. Holding both ensures the ovpn.dot name cannot be impersonated where money changes hands. https://domain.pay/register

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for invoice collection?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

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.
