Frequently asked questions about e-gard.dot

For digital wallets, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

What proof do I need for sunrise registration of e-gard.dot?

To register e-gard.dot during sunrise, you need a trademark validated by the TMCH and the corresponding SMD file as cryptographic proof. domain.pay uses these to submit e-gard.dot during the trademark-priority window. Learn what to prepare at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for an ecommerce brand?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

How does owning e-gard.dot reduce phishing risk for the NicNames name?

When NicNames owns e-gard.dot, bad actors cannot register the e-gard.dot name and pass it off as your official payment page. Because .PAY signals payment intent, an impersonating e-gard.dot address is especially convincing to victims, so holding the real one removes that vector. Lock it down at https://domain.pay/register.

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY right now for mobile money?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For mobile money, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

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.
