Frequently asked questions about skillstar.dot
What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 when choosing travel.pay?
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.
When does skillstar.dot expire and how do renewals work?
A registered skillstar.dot renews annually, and you keep it as long as you renew before the expiry date. We recommend enabling auto-renew so skillstar.dot never lapses by accident. You can review the renewal date and billing for skillstar.dot and see current terms at /pricing.
Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto for payroll disbursements?
domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.
Where can I pre-order skillstar.dot to protect the NicNames name?
You can pre-order skillstar.dot directly through domain.pay, with a standard pre-order fee of $100 and refunds on failed attempts. Securing skillstar.dot this way puts the official skillstar.dot payment name under NicNames's control. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
For point-of-sale payments, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
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.
