Frequently asked questions about whip.dot
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration when choosing link.pay?
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.
Will switching from a .com to whip.dot cost me SEO traffic?
A move to whip.dot only risks traffic if it's done without proper 301 redirects from every old URL to its match on whip.dot. With correct redirects, a canonical update, and a Search Console change-of-address, rankings transfer over time. Plan the migration to whip.dot carefully and monitor results.
What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for mobile money?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
Where can I see the renewal date for whip.dot?
Your domain dashboard lists the current expiry and next renewal date for whip.dot, along with the auto-renew status. Reviewing it regularly ensures whip.dot doesn't slip into a grace or redemption period. Open the dashboard at /domains to check the date for whip.dot.
Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app for payroll disbursements?
Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.
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.
