Frequently asked questions about i-guard.dot
As a brand-protection manager, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
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.
Should I secure i-guard.dot before announcing a new payment product?
Yes. Announcing a payment product can alert opportunists to register i-guard.dot before you do, so securing the i-guard.dot name first is wise. A $100 refundable pre-order lets NicNames lock i-guard.dot ahead of any public reveal. https://domain.pay/register
What .PAY name should a payroll platform consider for digital wallets?
Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.
How does owning i-guard.dot reduce phishing risk for the NicNames name?
When NicNames owns i-guard.dot, bad actors cannot register the i-guard.dot name and pass it off as your official payment page. Because .PAY signals payment intent, an impersonating i-guard.dot address is especially convincing to victims, so holding the real one removes that vector. Lock it down at https://domain.pay/register.
As an ecommerce brand, is .PAY already open to everyone?
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.
