I had a working github pages before at http://igghub.github.io/
I was trying to figure out how to add custom domain. I followed this guide from gh-pages on how to add custom domain. On my repo's Custom Domain setting, I nonchalantly added iggy.io and saved it. Silly me, I did not create DNS (I didn't know what it was until now).
Naturally, when I typed either igghub.github.io or iggy.io, it didn't work. So I deleted the iggy.io custom domain and saved it.
However, I am still unable to access github pages even after I cleared out custom domain! Everytime I try going to igghub.github.io it still redirects to iggy.io.
The last 2 commits showed that CNAME was finally deleted.
Why can't I access my old github-pages and why does github-pages still redirect me to the deleted custom domain?
Try clearing your browser cache, may have a temp or perm HTTP redirect stored in there

I made a GitHub account. Ex: github.com/username
I made a repository (for a website) Ex: github.com/username/website
I'm new to GitHub, and initially, I thought the public access link to the website must http://website.github.io, but that doesn't work! All I'm getting is 404 no matter what I try.
I've tried the following examples:
username.github.io
username.github.io/username
username.github.io/website
username.github.io
website.github.io/website
username.github.com/website
but nothing works.
Finally, after an hour's worth of stumbling around, I realized that I would have to change my website's name to https://github.com/username/username so that http://username.github.io will work as the public link, Which I, obviously, don't want. I want http://website.github.io ideally or at least http://username.github.io/website
So, how do I make it work? How do my visitors access my website? Is it even possible to have it my way? If not, then do I have to make a new account for every new project? Won't that just defeat the purpose of a GitHub account?
So, how do I make it work?
https://username.github.io/projectname works for me, where username is of course my user name and projectname is the name of the repository. HTTP would probably be fine, but I checked the box to require HTTPS.
I want http://mywebsite1.github.io ideally
There's a "custom domain name" setting that purports to let you use your own domain, so you could something like http://myproject.mywebsite1.com/.
or at least http://UserName.github.io/mywebsite1
If mywebsite1 is the name of your project, you should be good to go -- that's the same format that worked for me above, except you're allowing http instead of just https.
Am I missing something crucial due to my day-0 newness on github?
It's possible that you've missed a step, or that you've restricted access to the project. It might help to go back to basics: forget everything you think you know and just follow their guide.
To create a website using GitHub pages you need to create an index.html file into any repository (No matter what name your repository is).
Then you need to publish your repository to be able to have your website.
First, go to your repository
Then go to Settings tab
Scroll down until you reach GitHub Pages
Then in source, you need to select your branch, in your case master branch
Then click on save and you are ready to go!!
Your repository will be online at http://username.github.io/yourRepoName
If your repository name is username.github.io your website will be live at http://username.github.io
Also, you need to know that you can only public static websites.
Understand GitHub Pages reading this.
TL;DR: Changed my GH-Pages domain to a custom one, the custom one works well but the default (old) one is not redirecting to the custom one.
I have a GitHub pages repo that was on the default domain, then switched it to a custom domain, which worked fine, and the default domain was redirecting to the new one. I then changed the repo's name to the new domain's name, but when I went to the old domain, it returned 404, so I changed the repo's name back to the default one (mohamed3on.github.io), but it still returns 404 and says
There isn't a GitHub Pages site here.
The repo contains a CNAME with mohamed3on.online.
What do you think I should change?
Please make sure you have been included CNAME in the root directory.
Is it possible to associate more than one custom domain with the same GitHub user account? I would like to use one custom domain for my personal page and another custom domain for a project page.
Specifically, I would like www.deeplearningbook.org to show the GitHub pages for the goodfeli/book project, and www.iangoodfellow.com to show the GitHub pages for the goodfeli/goodfeli.github.io user page. (And if I can be ambitious, I'd like blog.iangoodfellow.com to show the GitHub pages for goodfeli/blog)
I have tried a few different ways to set them up, and everything I have done has ended up with one URL or the other working but not both.
My current setup is a huge mess, but since a commenter asked me what my name records currently are:
iangoodfellow.com: I deleted all name records after the last failure. namecheap filled in a default parking page thing. I deleted the custom domain field from the goodfeli/goodfeli.github.io repository on github. Strangely, http://goodfeli.github.io successfully loads but https://goodfeli.github.io redirects to the broken www.iangoodfellow.com parking page. I'm not very happy that github is doing that... I didn't realize that taking down goodfeli.github.io was a possible failure mode here.
deeplearningbook.org: I doubt this is the correct thing to do, but it's the only thing I've been able to get to work so far:
Redirect domain: deeplearningbook.org -> https://www.deeplearningbook.org
A record # 192.30.252.153
A record # 192.30.252.154
CNAME Record www goodfeli.github.io.
It's that last CNAME record that I think is the problem. Having the goodfeli.github.io CNAME record for www.deeplearningbook.org prevents me from linking a different domain to the goodfeli.github.io personal page.
I haven't been able to figure out how to link www.deeplearningbook.org specifically to the goodfeli.github.io/dlbook project page though.
Yes in short, through one sub domain exampleUser.github.io, for example, my page https://shushugah.github.io is my main one, and maps to a custom domain https://shushugah.com while https://shushugah.github.io/23 links to a different github page at https://2Jews3Opinions.com One side effect of this is that https://shushugah.com/23 also redirects to https://2Jews3Opinions.com
I detail this in my blog post https://medium.com/#shushugah/2-customs-domains-for-2-github-pages-a8a9e77d3e57
I'm currently trying to get my github pages site up and running.
I actually went through with the process about a month ago without a hitch.
I left it alone between now and then, but when I went to start messing with it again today, I found that the site wasn't publishing for some reason. I just get a "server DNS address could not be found" when I try to navigate to it.
I tried deleting the repo and recreating it, but that doesn't seem to work.
And of course, I've insured that the repo name matches my username (case-sensitive).
Additionally, I contacted Github support and they said that they could load the page just fine.
Here's the link if anyone would like to try it themselves.
EDIT: This is a "User" Page as opposed to a "Project" Page, so it shouldn't require a CNAME configuration.
Any ideas?
It looks like everything is working now. If you are still experiencing issues, please clarify a bit what it is you want to achieve.
In case you want to set up the site with a custom URL, you need to add a CNAME file to the repository. See the instructions here: https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-your-pages-site-repository/
Some years ago I added a custom domain from free site just to try a new feature of Github. Now that I want to make a page my main url keeps getting redirect to myexpireddomain.com ...
http://myuser.github.io => myexpireddomain.com
http://myuser.github.io/page => myexpireddomain.com/page
and this all results in 404...since domain doesn't exist.
I think I need to remove cname file somewhere. But out 20 repos that I have I don't see any that should cname... which repo is at the root domain. http://myuser.github.io
For removal of custom domain, I removed all of the text from the custom domain field in the settings for that particular website, then pressed save. Then, I found out that you have to clear the browser cache (in google chrome I just cleared all of the browsing data for the last hour), otherwise it will still redirect to the custom domain!
Also, make sure that the CNAME file in your repository is deleted. Github pages creates this for you when you add a custom domain.
The repository for your main domain is either myuser.github.io, as documented on the Pages website, or possibly myuser.github.com in case your site is from before GitHub started using github.io for Pages.
Check the master branch for a file called CNAME in the repository root.
