Frequently asked questions about vtp.dot
Can a donation platform use .PAY for a branded payment page for fraud prevention?
Yes. A donation platform can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
What is the simplest way to explain vtp.dot to a non-technical person?
Tell them vtp.dot is a web address that ends in the word pay, so it is the place to go to pay vtp.dot. It works like any website link but its name advertises its purpose. They can reach it just by typing vtp.dot into a browser.
As a donation platform, can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.
Are there shorter variants of vtp.dot I could use instead?
Often yes. domain.pay's search can surface shorter or tighter variants of vtp.dot that may be available when vtp.dot itself is long or taken. Shorter names are typically easier to recall and type. Search variants at https://domain.pay/domains.
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for mobile money?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
