Frequently asked questions about guided.dot

Is .PAY a new domain option for insurance billing portals?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For online checkout, 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. Re-check the name before publishing campaigns because registry status can change.

Why is an SMD more secure than just emailing my trademark certificate for guided.dot?

An SMD is cryptographically signed by the TMCH, so NicNames can verify it automatically without manually inspecting a certificate when granting priority on guided.dot. A loose certificate could be forged or mistyped; the signed SMD cannot. That is why guided.dot priority relies on the SMD. Submit yours at https://domain.pay/register.

For fraud prevention, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

What happens to guided.dot if I stop using it for payments?

If your use of guided.dot drifts away from payment-related purposes, it generally remains registered through renewal, though the .PAY registry's expectations are themed around payments. Policies can evolve, so staying aligned is wise. domain.pay can advise on your situation at https://domain.pay/register.

When is broader .PAY public registration expected for an event ticketing business?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
