Frequently asked questions about proguard.dot

Where can I see the exact .PAY premium price for link.pay for loan repayments?

Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.

Can my registrar account hold both proguard.dot and other priority claims at once?

Yes. Through NicNames you can pursue trademark-priority claims on proguard.dot and other matching .PAY names, each backed by its own valid SMD where the label matches the validated mark. Every claim is processed under the registry's rules. Manage your claims, starting with proguard.dot, at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I know if merchant.pay is available for mobile money?

Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.

What is a registrar lock and should proguard.dot have one?

A registrar (transfer) lock prevents proguard.dot from being moved without your explicit approval, guarding against hijacking. Keep proguard.dot locked except during a deliberate transfer. You can toggle the lock for proguard.dot in your account's domain settings.

For mobile money, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

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.
