Your name on the family domain

An address that says where you come from - and a page people can actually find you at. Both are held on mishra.info, renewed yearly, and set up by a person rather than a script.

The email address

A working address on the family domain, in one of two forms depending on how much you need from it.

Forwarding alias
Mail sent to your address arrives in the inbox you already use. Nothing to log into, nothing to check separately. You cannot send from it on most setups.
Full mailbox
A real mailbox with webmail and IMAP/SMTP access, so you can send as well as receive, from your phone and your computer. This is what you want if the address is going on a CV or a business card.

SPF, DKIM and DMARC are configured on the domain, so mail from mishra.info is not treated as suspicious. This is also why the acceptable use policy is enforced strictly - one person sending spam damages delivery for everyone on the domain.

The subdomain

name.mishra.info, pointed wherever you need it. Three options, in order of how technical they are.

Redirect
Sends visitors straight on to a URL you nominate - your LinkedIn, a portfolio, a Google Scholar page, a YouTube channel. The simplest option and the most popular.
Profile page
A hosted page on our template: photo, a short introduction, your links, and - if you want it there - your gotra and ancestral village. Nothing for you to host or maintain.
DNS delegation
You already have hosting and want the subdomain pointed at it. Send the A or CNAME record you need and it is created for you. For technical users.

How it works

Everything is done manually in this first version. That is slower than an automated service and it is also why nothing is created before a person has looked at it.

  1. Submit the request

    Choose a username, pick a plan, tell us how to reach you. The form checks the name against the reserved list as you type.

  2. Pay by UPI

    The confirmation page shows the amount, a QR code and a reference number. Put the reference in the payment note so it can be matched.

  3. Verification

    The payment is matched against the reference, and the username is checked once more for availability and acceptable use.

  4. Setup

    The DNS record and/or mailbox is created, normally within 48 hours of payment being verified.

  5. Credentials and renewal date

    Login details, a setup guide for your phone, and the date your first year ends arrive by email. A reminder is sent 15 days before expiry.

Names are first-come, first-served

A username is held against your reference while the request is open, and finally allocated once payment is verified. Reserved and system names are not available, and impersonating a public figure is not permitted. The full rules are in the Terms of service.
