Frequently asked questions about kguard.dot
When should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments?
Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
How much does it cost to pre-order kguard.dot for brand protection?
The standard pre-order for kguard.dot is $100, and failed attempts are refundable, so the cost of attempting to secure your kguard.dot name is low-risk. See full details and any priority-phase options at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto for fraud prevention?
domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.
Can I update my SMD if my trademark details change before claiming kguard.dot?
If your trademark details change, you update the underlying TMCH record and re-export a fresh SMD before claiming kguard.dot, so the file reflects the current validated mark. Submitting an outdated SMD risks rejection for kguard.dot. Keep the record and file aligned, then register at https://domain.pay/register.
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.
