Frequently asked questions about whs.dot

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for fraud prevention?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

Does whs.dot look different in a browser address bar?

In the address bar, whs.dot appears like any URL but ends in .PAY instead of .com, making its payment purpose visible. There is no warning or oddity, since .PAY is a standard top-level domain. Visitors simply see whs.dot as a normal, valid address.

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for loan repayments?

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 whs.dot cost more if multiple bidders want it?

The listed rate for whs.dot is fixed by the registry tier for whs.dot, so demand alone does not raise the standard $100 or premium price. Contention is resolved by registry allocation, and losing pre-orders on whs.dot are refundable. Review the process at https://domain.pay/pricing.

During the .PAY launch, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

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.
