Frequently asked questions about akin.dot

Does .PAY automatically improve SEO rankings for mobile money?

.PAY is a branding and relevance signal, not an automatic SEO ranking boost. Use it when it improves payment-page clarity and user trust, then follow normal SEO practices. Start by securing or pre-ordering the domain at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I keep email and web on akin.dot pointed at different providers?

DNS lets you split services: MX records on akin.dot route mail to your mailbox host while A/CNAME records send web traffic to a separate web host. They operate independently, so akin.dot can use one vendor for email and another for the site. Just keep each record set correct.

For mobile money, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I run akin.dot entirely on a static host like GitHub Pages?

Yes. Point akin.dot at the static host using their required A/CNAME records, add akin.dot as the custom domain in the host's settings, and enable their automatic HTTPS. Static hosting is fast and cheap for akin.dot when you don't need server-side code.

Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for payroll disbursements?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

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.
