Frequently asked questions about viro.dot
Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY?
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.
What is the order of phases that affects viro.dot: priority, pre-order, general?
For viro.dot, trademark priority comes first for validated SMD holders, then first-day pre-order opens to others at $100, and finally general registration. Each phase narrows who has the advantage on viro.dot. Knowing the order helps you pick the right moment. See current phase details at https://domain.pay/.
When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain when choosing merchant.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.
How do I set up HTTPS and an SSL certificate on viro.dot?
Point viro.dot at your server via DNS first, then issue a certificate from a CA such as Let's Encrypt or your hosting provider's automated tool. Most platforms validate ownership of viro.dot over HTTP or DNS and renew automatically. Once installed, force all traffic to HTTPS with a redirect.
Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY for in-app purchases?
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.
