Frequently asked questions about guiding.dot

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 when choosing tap.pay?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

What information goes into a guiding.dot application?

A guiding.dot application typically includes accurate registrant contact details and, where the .PAY registry requests it, information about your payment-related intended use. domain.pay collects what's needed and submits it for you. Begin the application at https://domain.pay/register.

What is the quickest path to secure a .PAY domain for a crypto or DeFi product for online checkout?

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.

What happens if I let guiding.dot expire after registering it?

If guiding.dot lapses, it can be re-registered by someone else, reopening the impersonation risk you closed. Keep guiding.dot renewed so the guiding.dot name stays continuously under NicNames's control. Manage your registration at https://domain.pay/.

For fraud prevention, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.
