I have a website hosted on github pages and I bought a domain name from hostinger. I am adding A records and CNAME. But the website is going to "parked domain name on hostinger" instead of my github page. Afaik I am doing everything correctly and adding the correct IPs in the A records.
i think you should try with CNAM record.
this is what this doc says
https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team#latest/github/working-with-github-pages/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site
Create two AAAA DNS adress and put the following ipv6 adresses:
2606:50c0:8000::153 and
2606:50c0:8000::154

So I am trying to setup a custom domain with my github pages site. I have followed the steps as in Github Docs. I am using Freenom for the domain.
I have added the A record to my DNS records at the registrar pointing to all of the four IP addresses
I have added the CNAME record
and I have checked them too
but I am still getting this error
UPDATE: it just loads into a white screen now
My site link is https://xharuke.github.io/haruke/ and not https://xharuke.github.io is that what might be causing the problem?
i host my jekyll blog on github and used to use a custom apex domain for it and that worked just fine.
Yesterday i wanted to discontinue the domain and go back to the standard .github.io adress, so i deleted the DNS Entrys on Namecheap and the custom domain entry in the github repo settings under "Pages" (also made sure the CNAME file is gone, i even deleted the whole repo and set it up from scratch) but still the .github.io Adress redirects to my old custom domain and shows a 404.
Is there a way to solve this?
I can think of trying to assign a new custom domain, but i dont have one right now and just want to use the standard domain for now.
Phenomena
After setting up my own domain on Github Pages, I get an InvalidDNSError.
The following message will appear
"Both www.example.work and its alternate name are improperly configured
Domain's DNS record could not be retrieved. For more information, see Learn more (InvalidDNSError). We recommend you change this to a CNAME record pointing to username.github.io."
Expected value
I want to publish a website using github pages on my own domain.
From your question, I assume that you are added www.example.work as custom domain in the github pages section and you might be missed the DNS settings part.
After adding custom domain in github pages, you need to setup a CNAME and 4 A record under the DNS settings of you custom domain.
you can find the detailed steps here in the official documentation of github.
You need to change your domain DNS to CNAME and try again.
as a Name you type www and in the target URL form, GitHub link.
I ran into this as well. After double checking the DNS with dig and continuing to get the same error, I removed the custom DNS on the GitHub Pages Settings form (using the "Remove" button) and then re-added it. That cleared the error for me.
Problem:
I am getting below warning on github pages. However, my custom domain http://www.dilipagheda.com still works.
I am curious why i am getting this warning and do i need to address it? if yes, how?
Error:
The custom domain for your GitHub Pages site is pointed at an outdated IP address. You must update your site's DNS records if you'd like it to be available via your custom domain
I'm not 100% sure why it still works (maybe they're phasing people out to the new addresses?) but here's how to fix it.
Go to your domain registrar, where you have previously set up your DNS records. You need to update your A records to the new ones provided by github. Right now they are:
185.199.108.153
185.199.109.153
185.199.110.153
185.199.111.153
After that, you need to delete and re-add your custom domain in the repo settings. I got these IP addresses and instructions here in the github documentation.
I understand CNAME is an alias to another record. Since I am using melbourneIT for my domain name, when I set up Google Apps, I need to verify my domain name ownership through CNAME record change.
However when I see page: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=142005#CNAME (please tick "I want to verify using a CNAME record"), I am totally confused at what information to use in order to create the CNAME record for this verification purpose.
Please see below for the information from http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=142005#CNAME:
Host Name/Alias Value/Destination
Custom URL: www ghs.google.com
Verification: googlefffggghhh12345 (your unique string) google.com
If my domain name is mydomainname.com, what should I put into my CNAME record (the value for HOSTNAME and POINTS TO, as in my DNS management panel shows)?
It's confusing because it looks like two entries. I think you want to use the second set of criteria for verification. So you'd enter the googlefffggghhh12345 as the alias(or host), and it would point to google.com.
You might want to do both or alternatively do mail as a cname and point it to ghs.google.com. You'll want to do that eventually anyway.
The cname, www pointing to ghs.google.com, is consistent with telling your domain host to check to see if there's a webpage setup in google sites and send people there. If there isn't one, and there isn't a sitemap within apps for one, I think the domain would just return to current hosting.
