Frequently asked questions about guardhouse.dot

What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium for an ecommerce brand?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

What proof do I need for trademark-priority pricing on guardhouse.dot?

For trademark-priority handling of guardhouse.dot you must supply a valid TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file matching guardhouse.dot, issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse. Without it, you proceed under standard general-availability pricing for guardhouse.dot. Begin the priority flow at https://domain.pay/register.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for crypto payments?

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.

Does guardhouse.dot require special hosting?

No. guardhouse.dot works with ordinary web hosting, redirects, or a landing-page service, just like any domain. You point its DNS wherever you want guardhouse.dot to resolve. The .PAY suffix imposes no special hosting requirement.

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for a payroll platform?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

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.
