Frequently asked questions about vhi.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for a donation platform?

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.

Does vhi.dot support IPv6 with AAAA records?

Yes. You can publish AAAA records for vhi.dot pointing at your IPv6 addresses alongside the IPv4 A records. Dual-stack DNS on vhi.dot lets IPv6-only clients reach your site directly. Add the AAAA values in your DNS panel just like A records.

Should a checkout product manager protect its exact brand in .PAY for marketplace payouts?

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.

Which trademark holders get priority for vhi.dot?

Holders of a registered trademark matching vhi.dot get priority for vhi.dot during the trademark-priority phase. You prove the right with a TMCH SMD file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse. domain.pay supports this priority path for vhi.dot at /register.

Is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio for BNPL checkout?

domain.pay says customers with pre-orders over $8,888 may qualify for VIP handling, dedicated support and more tailored failed-registration solutions. Review the current VIP language on the pricing page: https://domain.pay/pricing. Large portfolios should still expect availability and premium checks.

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.
