.PAY domain
Checking availability…
ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
After your SMD-backed claim succeeds, NicNames confirms the registration of ventu.pay and it appears under your account, with the name reflected in WHOIS. That confirmation is your proof ventu.pay was secured via trademark priority. If anything failed, refunds follow the published policy. Start and track it at https://domain.pay/register.
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
If ventu.pay appears to have little contention, VIP priority handling is optional and mainly useful when timing is tight at the drop. You can still secure ventu.pay at the $100 standard or premium ventu rate without it. Weigh the options at https://domain.pay/pricing.
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
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.
