On github, there is an error that says "Domain does not resolve to the GitHub Pages server." What should I do? I followed all your steps. Btw, your vid was very straightforward and everything else seems to work for me! Thanks!

[@Websplaining]

According to the message it appears like you haven't pointed your domain correctly to GitHub Pages. Are you using Namecheap as your Domain name host? Also thank you for that! I always try to keep my videos as short and as straight forward as possible without the filler for my viewers.

Fantastic tutorial. 🤩

[@Websplaining]

Thanks Prakash! I hope the video was helpful :)!

[@Ioannnify]

Thanks for the tutorial, just confused about the Host Record number list. Does everyone use the same numbers you have listed above?

[@Websplaining]

Hi loannnify, I am glad you found the video helpful. That's correct its the same for everyone as you are pointing your domain to GitHubs servers.

[@KillBeek]

thanks for sharing. It was very useful.

[@LAHEX-yt6ux]

Nicely done!
Is it possible to make changes in github the same way the pages were initially uploaded to the repository? That is by dragging a new index.html file for example. Would that automatically replace the existing file with the same name and show live on the website after?

[@Websplaining]

Yup it's possible! and thank you very much! I recommend downloading and installing Github Desktop. I will add that to the list of videos to make but it's very straight forward to use. Please give this video a Like and Subscribe to support me as a content creator Dominick I would really appreciate it!

[@LAHEX-yt6ux]

@@Websplaining Thank you boss, I'll try that. Avoiding GitHub desktop is actually why I asked lol. Looking forward to a video on it. Subbed and liked.

[@ChanceOverberg]

Thank you so much!

[@anandchainani2]

just a basic question, why there are four different A records 😅🤔

[@bobfretz9981]

I have an issue, it says that my domain name and alternate name is improperly configured. I just did the record thing with the CNAME and A record, do I wait for all the changes to take effect? Thanks

[@wilmirosa7076]

Nice video! Thanks!! Do you still have to buy a host in namecheap? I did all the steps, an it shows me that all is well setted, but when entering in the namecheap page, it says:
This site can't be reached, refused to connect

[@tydangelo7512]

Great video!
Any advice on troubleshooting? When I click my published link, I am redirected to a blank white page...

[@Websplaining]

Thanks for your kind words, it takes a while for your domain to propagate/point to GitHub. My advice would be to be patient.

[@palo8818]

If I have one website but I want it on multiple domains is there a way of doing that?

[@anuragtawaniya7746]

Can i change domain name???

[@Websplaining]

Yup, you can point any domain name you own to your GitHub pages site.

[@SarahPoulin]

I already had a github account, so I followed your instructions and made it site.github.io. However, for my published page, it's showing up as username.github.io/site.github.io/ How do I make it so it's just site.github.io. I am making a website for free kids readers and can't pay for a domain. I don't mind github being in the name of the site.
