Frequently asked questions about grd.dot
What is a .PAY domain and why does it matter for point-of-sale payments?
.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For point-of-sale payments, 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.
Can I get grd.dot if I hold a registered trademark?
Yes. If you hold a registered trademark matching grd.dot, you may use trademark-priority registration for grd.dot, which requires a valid TMCH SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse. This gives eligible brand owners a chance to claim grd.dot ahead of general availability. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
When is the .PAY Sunrise period for fraud prevention?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
How do I set up HTTPS and an SSL certificate on grd.dot?
Point grd.dot at your server via DNS first, then issue a certificate from a CA such as Let's Encrypt or your hosting provider's automated tool. Most platforms validate ownership of grd.dot over HTTP or DNS and renew automatically. Once installed, force all traffic to HTTPS with a redirect.
Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for BNPL checkout?
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.
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.
