Frequently asked questions about forward.dot
When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for loan repayments?
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.
How do I check if forward.dot is available?
You can check availability for forward.dot directly on domain.pay's registration flow, which queries the .PAY registry status. If forward.dot is open, you can place a first-day pre-order; if a trademark window applies, the SMD path is offered. Start at /register.
Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken when choosing travel.pay?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
How often does the status of forward.dot change?
There's no fixed schedule — Amazon Registry Services can reclassify forward.dot as policies evolve or as registrations and releases occur. A reserved label might open, or an available one might be claimed. Because registry status can change, re-check forward.dot at https://domain.pay/domains before acting.
Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for loan repayments?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
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.
