Namecheap > Github pages

Pointing your domains to a gh-pages branch requires three steps.

1. Add the Github IPs as A records on Namecheap.
   185.199.108.153
   185.199.109.153
   185.199.110.153
   185.199.111.153

2. Add your Github domain as the CNAME alias on Namecheap. your_username.github.io. (mind the extra period!)

3. Add a CNAME with your new domain name in your repository. lowercase and nothing else

You will find what you need to know at these links:

Hi everybody,

First of all, thanks to y'a;ll for the valuable info :)

Quick question, may someone can think of what I may be doing wrong:

I've followed all the steps to get my repo: https://github.com/BibleFarm/cali to resolve to the custom domain calioviedo.com

It worked right away (within minutes), so that was cool.

Typing on the address bar in browsers, all of these ways work fine:
--> calioviedo.com
--> www.calioviedo.com
--> http://calioviedo.com
--> http://www.calioviedo.com
--> https://calioviedo.com

But I can't get this one to work:
--> https://www.calioviedo.com

Please see image attached.

Thanks!

Alex

@BibleFarm -- it looks like you got your subdomain www.calioviedo.com to direct to the apex domain calioviedo.com

What did you do?

This is not correct anymore. Instead of 192.30.252.153 and 192.30.252.154, the IPs should be 185.199.108.153, 185.199.109.153, 185.199.110.153 and 185.199.111.153.

How you know that?? where is the link? to me it seems that github is only supporting now CNAME records... because they provide the HTTPS SSL.

These should work! If not delete your CNAME for an hour and add again.

Updated IP addresses in the original post to reflect the latest recommendations from GitHub ✅

What if I have an app like username.github.io/myapp
Will setting the CNAME to username.github.io/myapp work?

@ppalone No, it won't work.

I tried using name cheap for the DNS and the custom domain name but I get a white screen with only the title of my website.

How to get CSR from github pages for Namecheap domain?
