Frequently asked questions about vships.dot

Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for mobile money for a checkout product manager?

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.

Are there design or logo marks that work as an SMD for vships.dot?

The TMCH validates word elements of marks for matching purposes, so a design or logo mark must have a textual vships.dot component to support an SMD claim on vships.dot. Purely figurative marks with no qualifying text generally cannot produce a usable SMD for vships.dot. Check your mark, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

For loan repayments, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

What happens if I let vships.dot expire?

After expiry, vships.dot enters a grace period during which you can usually still renew at the standard price, followed by a redemption period that may carry a higher restoration fee. If no one renews, vships.dot is eventually released back to the registry. Renew early via /pricing to avoid the lifecycle stages entirely.

Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order for digital wallets?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

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.
