Frequently asked questions about halguard.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for a bank or credit union?

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.

How do I redirect halguard.dot to another website?

You can forward halguard.dot with a registrar-level URL redirect, or host a small server that issues a 301 to your target. A 301 is permanent and passes the most SEO signal, which is ideal if halguard.dot should point to your main site. Configure forwarding for halguard.dot from /domains.

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for point-of-sale payments?

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.

When can I actually use halguard.dot after a successful pre-order?

Once your pre-order for halguard.dot is fulfilled and the registration completes, you can immediately configure nameservers and DNS for halguard.dot and bring a site online. Activation timing depends on the registry's launch schedule for the .PAY phase. You'll be notified when halguard.dot is yours to configure.

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin?

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.

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.
