Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about NameWick
What is NameWick?
NameWick lets you create a surprise page on a fun domain name, upload a photo with a caption, and share the link. The URL is the message — imagine sending someone a link to "verybeautifulgirl.com" with their photo on it.
Do I own the domain?
No. All domains are owned by NameWick. When you create a page, you are purchasing a temporary right to show your photo and caption on that domain during your reserved time window. You do not acquire any ownership, registration rights, or permanent claim to the domain name.
How long does a page last?
Future-only bookings use whole-day blocks, so you can select one day or a longer date range. If you start today and extend to later dates, the booking runs from the current rounded time through the end of the selected final day. If there is a live opening right now that ends sooner than 24 hours, we show that shorter window only when at least 5 hours remain before the next reservation.
Can I choose a future start time?
Yes. You can reserve a domain up to 30 days ahead by choosing a day or date range from the booking calendar.
Can I edit my photo or caption after publishing?
Yes. You can update your photo, caption, display name, and page lock settings while your page is upcoming or active. Edited content goes through the same moderation checks as the original upload.
Can I protect the page with a login?
Yes. Each booking can be open, password-protected, or locked with a username and password. We store only hashed access secrets.
What happens when my page expires?
Your photo and caption are removed, and the domain becomes available again. Uploaded photos are automatically deleted from our servers shortly after expiration.
What happens if my payment fails or I cancel checkout?
The booking is not confirmed. We release the temporary hold right away so the domain can be booked again, and any staged upload for that attempt is deleted. Abandoned temporary uploads also age out automatically if you never finish checkout.
What kind of photos can I upload?
All photos are automatically screened by our content moderation system. Photos containing nudity, violence, hate speech, or other prohibited content will be rejected. See our Acceptable Use Policy for full details.
Someone posted my photo without permission. How do I get it removed?
You can submit a takedown request through our content removal page without creating a NameWick account. We require a working email and enough detail to review the report, notify the uploader, and if appropriate require the photo to be replaced or disable the page. For clear impersonation or urgent legal or safety issues, we may restrict access before the review is complete.
Request removal →Can I get a refund?
Refunds are available for technical failures on our end, duplicate charges, or if your photo is rejected by moderation after payment. Change-of-mind refunds are not available since the service activates immediately. See our full Refund Policy for details.
Refund Policy →How is my payment processed?
Web payments are processed through Dodo Payments, which acts as Merchant of Record for the web checkout flow. On supported devices and browsers, Dodo may present Apple Pay or Google Pay. We never store your card details.
Is my data safe?
We collect minimal data — just what is needed to operate the service. Page data and photos are automatically deleted shortly after expiration. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Privacy Policy →Do I need an account?
Yes. You need an account to create and manage bookings. If you use Google sign-in and email/password with the same verified email, NameWick links those identities to the same account.
Is there an age restriction?
Yes. NameWick is for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old and have legal capacity to create an account, book a domain, or use the Service.
Terms of Service →Can someone else use the same domain while I have it?
No. Availability is controlled by one booking source of truth. Once your time window is held and payment is confirmed, overlapping bookings for that domain are blocked.
