Frequently asked questions about retiguard.dot

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now when choosing donate.pay?

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.

What happens to my DNS records when retiguard.dot expires?

Once retiguard.dot expires and leaves the grace period, the registry may stop publishing your nameservers, so retiguard.dot stops resolving and any site or email goes dark. Restoring retiguard.dot during redemption brings it back, but you should re-verify records afterward. Renew retiguard.dot on time to keep DNS live.

For point-of-sale payments, can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

What happens to my $100 if retiguard.dot can't be secured?

If retiguard.dot cannot be secured, the standard $100 pre-order attempt is refundable, so the failed attempt won't cost you. That safety net makes pursuing retiguard.dot candidates low-risk. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

As an event ticketing business, is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio?

domain.pay says customers with pre-orders over $8,888 may qualify for VIP handling, dedicated support and more tailored failed-registration solutions. Review the current VIP language on the pricing page: https://domain.pay/pricing. Large portfolios should still expect availability and premium checks.

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.
